Effects of vitamin K epoxide reductase complex 1 gene polymorphisms on warfarin control in Japanese patients with left ventricular assist devices (LVAD).
Article in European journal of clinical pharmacology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
purposeThis study aimed to investigate relationships between times in therapeutic range (TTR) or warfarin sensitivity indexes (WSI) and VKORC1-1639G>A and CYP2C9 polymorphisms in patients with left ventricular assist devices (LVAD).
methodsSevere heart failure patients who received LVAD from January 1, 2013 to October 31, 2017 were recruited. Relationships between TTR or WSI and VKORC1-1639G>A and CYP2C9 gene polymorphisms were investigated immediately after LVAD implantation (period 1) and immediately prior to hospital discharge (period 2).
resultsAmong 54 patients, 31 (72.1%) had VKORC1-1639AA and CYP2C9*1/*1 (AA group) polymorphisms and 12 (27.9%) had VKORC1-1639GA and CYP2C9*1/*1 (GA group) polymorphisms. During period 1, mean prothrombin time-international normalized ratio (PT-INR) values were significantly higher in the AA group than in the GA group (2.21 vs. 2.05, p < 0.0001). Mean WSI values were 1.68-fold greater in the AA group than in the GA group (1.14 vs. 0.68, p < 0.0001). In addition, times below the therapeutic range (TBTR) in the GA group were significantly greater than in the AA group during period 1 (39.8 vs. 28.3%, p = 0.032), and insufficient PT-INR was more frequent in the GA group than in the AA group. However, mean PT-INR values during period 2 did not differ and no significant differences in TTR, TATR, and TBTR values were identified. In subsequent multivariable logistic regression analyses, the VKORC1-1639GA allele was significantly associated with insufficient anticoagulation.
conclusionPatients with the VKORC1-1639GA and CYP2C9*1/*1 alleles may receive insufficient anticoagulation therapy during the early stages after implantation of LVAD, and VKORC1-1639G>A and CYP2C9 genotyping may contribute to more appropriate anticoagulant therapy after implantation of LVAD.
