Candidate-Gene Study of Functional Polymorphisms in SLCO1B1 and CYP3A4/5 and the Cholesterol-Lowering Response to Simvastatin.
Trial report in Clinical and translational science, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Cholesterol-lowering response to 40 mg simvastatin daily for 6 weeks was examined for associations with common genetic polymorphisms in key genes affecting simvastatin metabolism (CYP3A4 and CYP3A5) and transport (SLCO1B1). In white people (n = 608), SLCO1B1 521C was associated with lesser reductions of total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Associations between SLCO1B1 521C and cholesterol response were not detected in African Americans (n = 333). Associations between CYP3A4*22 or CYP3A5*3 and cholesterol response were not detected in either race, and no significant race-gene or gene-gene interactions were detected. As several of the analyses may have been underpowered (especially the analyses in the African American cohort), the findings not suggesting an association should not be considered conclusive and warrant further investigation. The finding regarding SLCO1B1 521C in whites was consistent with several previous reports. SLCO1B1 521C resulted in a diminished cholesterol-lowering response, but a marginal effect size limits utility for predicting simvastatin response.
