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

The MDR1 gene encodes for P-glycoprotein (P-gp), which is an efflux transporter at the cell membrane. The P-gp has wide substrate specificity for multiple medications including the lipid lowering drug, atorvastatin. In this study, we investigated the possible association between three common MDR1 gene polymorphisms (G2677T, C3435T, and C1236T), and the lipid lowering effect of atorvastatin among Jordanians. Lipid and lipoproteins were measured in blood samples collected from patients (n = 201) at baseline and during atorvastatin treatment. MDR1 polymorphisms were genotyped using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. Both the TT genotype of G2677T and the TT genotype of the C3435T polymorphisms were associated with lower levels of low-density lipoproteins after atorvastatin treatment. However, the effects of atorvastatin on the levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides, and high-density lipoprotein, were not correlated with any of the genotypes in both polymorphisms. Finally, the C1236T polymorphism was not associated with the lipid lowering effect of atorvastatin. In conclusion, the MDR1 gene polymorphisms G2677T, and C3435T, but not C1236T were associated with the lipid lowering effect of atorvastatin among Jordanians.
