Improving the Care of Older Patients by Decreasing Potentially Inappropriate Medications, Potential Medication Omissions, and Serious Drug Events Using Pharmacogenomic Data about Variability in Metabolizing Many Medications by Seniors.
Article in Geriatrics (Basel, Switzerland), 2020. 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
Polypharmacy, potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs) identified by the American Geriatrics Society and Screening Tool of Older People's Prescriptions (STOPP), potential prescribing omissions (PPOs) identified by Screening Tool to Alert to Right Treatment (START) and serious drug events (SDEs), are major problems for seniors. They correlate with increased risks of rehospitalization and death within six months of hospital discharge. About 75% of commonly prescribed medications are metabolized by P450 cytochrome enzymes. Electronic medical records (EMRs) providing integrated comprehensive pharmacogenomic advice are available only in very large health organizations. The study design of this article is a cross-sectional analysis of the American Geriatrics Society (AGS) and STOPP PIM and START PPO databases integrated with three P450 cytochrome enzyme databases (Flockhart Tables, DrugBank, and Rx Files) and the data are reported using the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) Statement: guidelines for reporting observational studies. To enable optimally prudent prescribing this article presents for primary care physicians and physicians in remote or rural areas without access to such services a comprehensive integration of the data on PIM and PPO medications with the data on the P450 cytochrome isoforms that metabolize these medications. Additionally presented are the medications metabolized by multiple isoforms and medications that inhibit or induce individual or multiple isoforms. The most extensive metabolic activities involve the central nervous system, anxiolytic, antidepressive, antipsychotic, musculoskeletal, and cardiovascular drugs. The P450 cytochrome isoforms that metabolize the most medications are 3A457, 2C9, 2D6, and 2C19 and nearly all central nervous systems medications compete to be metabolized by 3A457. Medications with the largest inducer or inhibitor activity are highlighted and also a list of commonly prescribed medications that are neither PIMs nor PPOs but compete for metabolism by the same isoforms.
