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

objectiveTo elucidate the degree of genetic polymorphisms CYP2C19 (CYP2C19*2, CYP2C19*3) of key drug metabolizing enzymes on the antiplatelet effect of clopidogrel response in patients with acute ischemic stroke from Saudi Arabia.

methodsA case-control study carried out at Neurology Clinics at Asser Central Hospital, Abha, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia from October 2015 to January 2016 and included 25 stroke patients responding to clopidogrel therapy and 25 stroke patients non responding to clopidogrel monotherapy. After obtaining their informed consent, the blood samples were collected and genotyped for CYP2C19 polymorphisms by the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphisms (PCR-RFLP Method). Allele frequencies were derived from genotypic data and platelet aggregation was measured using multiple electrode aggregometry on the multiplate analyser. Chi Square tests, p-values, odds ratio (OR) and corresponding confidence intervals were calculated for each polymorphism.

resultsThe CYP2C19*2 (681G>A) and CYP2C19*3 (636 G>A) polymorphism were seen to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and showed significant allelic and genotypic association between responders and non-responders to clopidogrel (p<0.01). The CYP2C19*2: allelic chi-square=21.49, p=0.000036, OR=5.52 (2.42-12.83); Genotypic Chi-square=10.27, p=0.001, OR=7.88 (1.78-9.73). The CYP2C19*3: Allelic chi-square=11.66, p=0.0006, OR=3.45 (1.57-7.70); genotypic chi-square=4.37, p=0.036, OR=3.69 (0.90-5.81). The variant allele (homozygous and homozygous Mutant) showed significant influence on platelet inhibition and the antiplatelet effect of clopidogrel in ischemic stroke.

conclusionOur findings provide certain evidence on the genetic effect of CYP2C19 on clopidogrel responsiveness in stroke patients from Saudi Arabia.
