Predictive markers in elderly patients with estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer treated with aromatase inhibitors: an array-based pharmacogenetic study.
Article in The pharmacogenomics journal, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
So far, no reliable predictive clinicopathological markers of response to aromatase inhibitors (AIs) have been identified, and little is known regarding the role played by host genetics. To identify constitutive predictive markers, an array-based association study was performed in a cohort of 55 elderly hormone-dependent breast cancer (BC) patients treated with third-generation AIs. The array used in this study interrogates variants in 225 drug metabolism and disposition genes with documented functional significance. Six variants emerged as associated with response to AIs: three located in ABCG1, UGT2A1, SLCO3A1 with a good response, two in SLCO3A1 and one in ABCC4 with a poor response. Variants in the AI target CYP19A1 resulted associated with a favourable response only as haplotype; haplotypes with increased response association were also detected for ABCG1 and SLCO3A1. These results highlight the relevance of host genetics in the response to AIs and represent a first step toward precision medicine for elderly BC patients.
