1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

We examined genetic associations with duloxetine response in generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). Three pooled studies in patients with GAD receiving duloxetine 60-120 mg per day (N=164) or placebo (N=95) were used. Associations between 825 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 61 candidate genes with change in Hamilton Anxiety Scale scores were examined with set-based testing (adjusted for the number of SNPs within each gene); sets with two-sided adjusted P≤0.05 were examined using repeated measure analysis. Follow-up analysis explored associations of these SNPs with change in Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression-Anxiety Subscale in a 6-week study in duloxetine-treated patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) (N=241). Variants in corticotropin-releasing hormone receptor 1 (CRHR1), dopamine receptor D3 (DRD3), nuclear receptor subfamily group C, member 1 (NR3C1) and phosphodiesterase 1A (PDE1A) were associated with duloxetine response in GAD. Only rs4792888 in CRHR1 showed modest evidence of association with duloxetine response in MDD (P=0.029 in GAD, P=0.054 in MDD). In conclusion, CRHR1 variation merits investigation in pathophysiology of anxiety and its treatment response.
