Genetic variation, expression and ontogeny of sulfotransferase SULT2A1 in humans.
Article in The pharmacogenomics journal, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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.
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
Sulfotransferases (SULTs) are enzymes involved in the metabolism of several endogenous molecules. The activity and expression exhibit inter- and intra-individual variations due to age and genetic variation. The aims of this study were to compare the gene expression of SULT2A1 in fetal and adult livers, to study the intra-individual tissue distribution, and investigate if expression is associated with a SULT2A1 copy number variation polymorphism. In contrast to other drug metabolizing enzyme systems the expression of SULT2A1 did not differ between fetal and adult liver samples and it was not affected by maternal smoking or gestational age. Gene expression in relation to sex could not be assessed as the sex of the fetuses was unknown. SULT2A1 was consistently expressed in livers and adrenals, being seven times more abundant in adrenals, but was absent in the lungs. The SULT2A1 copy number variation was proportional to gene expression in liver and adrenals. Our results show that SULT2A1 is important in the first trimester; particularly in the adrenals.
