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

aimsWe aimed to investigate the impact of various genetic polymorphisms affecting thiopurine metabolism pathways and toxicity in paediatric acute lymphoblastic leukaemia patients for the first time in Korea.

methodsFrom May 2006 to September 2016, 139 paediatric acute lymphoblastic leukaemia patients treated with combination chemotherapy including 6-mercaptopurine were included in the study. One hundred and twenty-three variants in 43 genes, including TMPT and NUDT15, were screened using targeted genotyping, such as a MassARRAY system, direct sequencing and polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism methods. Among the polymorphisms screened, 103 polymorphisms of 43 genes were included for further analyses.

resultsThe genetic polymorphisms in the ABCC4, AHCY, ATIC, FAM8A6P, GART, GNG2, GSTA1, MTHFD1, MTHFR, NUDT15, PACSIN2, TYMS and XDH genes, and an intronic polymorphism between HIVEP2 and AIG1, and TPMT genotype were associated with thiopurine metabolism (P < 0.05). Genetic polymorphisms in the ABCC4, ADK, ATIC, GART, GMPS, GSTP1, IMPDH1, ITPA, KCNMA1, MOCOS, MTRR, NUDT15, SLC19A1, SLC28A3, SLC29A1, SLCO1B1, TYMP and XDH genes were associated with thiopurine-related toxicities; neutropenia, hepatotoxicity and treatment interruption (P < 0.05).

conclusionsFindings of this study may provide basic knowledge for personalized medicine for thiopurinxe treatment in paediatric acute lymphoblastic leukaemia patients.
