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

contextIn a previous work, we have shown that penalized regression approaches can allow many genetic variants to be incorporated into sophisticated pharmacokinetic (PK) models in a way that is both computationally and statistically efficient. The phenotypes were the individual model parameter estimates, obtained a posteriori of the model fit and known to be sensitive to the study design.

objectiveThe aim of this study was to propose an integrated approach in which genetic effect sizes are estimated simultaneously with the PK model parameters, which should improve the estimate precision and reduce sensitivity to study design.

methodsA total of 200 data sets were simulated under the null and each of the following three alternative scenarios: (i) a phase II study with N=300 participants and n=6 sampling times, wherein six unobserved causal variants affect the drug elimination clearance; (ii) the addition of participants with a residual concentration collected in clinical routine (N=300, n=6 plus N=700, n=1); and (iii) a phase II study (N=300, n=6) in which four unobserved causal variants affect two different model parameters.

resultsIn all scenarios the integrated approach detected fewer false positives. In scenario (i), true-positive rates were low and the stepwise procedure outperformed the integrated approach. In scenario (ii), approaches performed similarly and rates were higher. In scenario (iii), the integrated approach outperformed the stepwise procedure.

conclusionA PK phase II study with N=300 lacks the power to detect genetic effects on PK using genetic arrays. Our approach can simultaneously analyse phase II and clinical routine data and identify when genetic variants affect multiple PK parameters.
