Pharmacogenomics of chronic hepatitis C therapy with genome-wide association studies.
Review in Journal of experimental pharmacology, 2010. 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
Chronic hepatitis C (CHC) is a liver disease characterized by infection with the hepatitis C virus (HCV) persisting for more than six months. Patients with CHC often stop pursuing the pegylated interferon (peg-IFN) and ribavirin (RBV) treatment because of the high cost and associated adverse effects. Therefore, it is highly desirable, both clinically and economically, to establish the determinants of response to distinguish responders from nonresponders, and to predict the possible outcomes of the peg-IFN and RBV treatments. The aim of this study was to review recent data on the pharmacogenomics of the drug efficacy of IFN in CHC patients. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) can be used to understand the relationship between genetic inheritance and IFN therapeutic response. In the recent advent of scientific research, the genome-wide association study (GWAS), which is an alternative to the candidate-gene approach, is widely utilized to examine hundreds of thousands of SNPs by high-throughput genotyping technologies. In addition to the candidate-gene approach, the GWAS approach has recently been employed to study the determinants of HCV's response to therapy. Several recent findings have demonstrated that some SNPs in the interleukin 28B gene are closely associated with IFN responsiveness. These results promise to lead to mechanistic findings related to IFN responsiveness in this disease, and will probably have major contributions for individualized medicine and therapeutic decision making.
