Precision therapy of 6-mercaptopurine in Chinese children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.
Article in British journal of clinical pharmacology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
aimsChinese children are more susceptible to the development of thiopurine-induced leukopenia compared with Caucasian populations. The aim of our study was to establish a 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP) dose-concentration-response relationship through exploration of pharmacogenetic factors involved in the thiopurine-induced toxicities in Chinese paediatric patients afflicted by acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL).
methodsBlood samples were obtained from ALL children treated with 6-MP. We determined the metabolite steady-state concentrations of 6-MP in red blood cells (RBCs) by using high-performance liquid chromatography. Pharmacogenetic analysis was carried out on patients' genomic DNA using the MassArray genotyping platform.
resultsSixty children afflicted by ALL who received 6-MP treatment were enrolled in this study. The median concentration of 6-thioguanine in patients afflicted by leukopenia was 235.83 pmol/8 × 10
conclusionOur findings support the idea that predetermination of genotypes and monitoring of thiopurine metabolism for Chinese paediatric patients afflicted by ALL is necessary to effectively predict the efficacy of treatments and to minimize the adverse effects of 6-MP maintenance therapy.
