Prevalence of Cytochrome P450 2B6 Single Nucleotide Polymorphism in an HIV-Positive Cohort in Jos, Nigeria: Implication for HIV Therapy.
Article in Nigerian journal of clinical practice, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundAfricans exhibit great diversity in cytochrome P450 2B6 isoenzyme (CYP2B6), the major enzyme in efavirenz metabolism.
aimWe examined the frequency of two functional single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the CYP2B6 pharmacogene in HIV-infected Nigerians on efavirenz-based antiretroviral therapy. The potential implications of the SNPs for HIV therapy were discussed. MATERIALS AND
methodsA cross-sectional study conducted from July 2018 to December 2018 in a tertiary health facility in Nigeria. A random sample of a clinic cohort of HIV-infected adult Nigerians of different ethnicities was characterized for two key SNPs; CYP2B6:516G>, and CYP2B6:983T > C, defining the alleles CYP2B6*6 and CYP2B6*18, respectively. Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium was calculated to evaluate the genotype frequency distribution.
resultsGenotyping was successful for 262 (83%) of the 316 study participants. Of those with genotype results, mean age was 41 ± 8 years and 182 (69.5%) were female. The CYP2B6:516 G/G (extensive metabolizers), CYP2B6:516 G/T (intermediate metabolizers), and CYP2B6:516 T/T (poor metabolizers) genotype frequency was 35.9%, 46.6%, and 17.6%, respectively. Also, 88.9% and 11.1% of participants were carriers of the CYP2B6:983 T/T and CYP2B6:983 T/C (poor metabolizers) genotypes, respectively. There were no gender or age-related differences in the genotype distribution. The CYP2B6:516G >T allele frequencies showed no significant deviations from the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (P = 0.66).
conclusionsThe intermediate metabolizer genotype was more common than the extensive and poor metabolizer genotypes in our study sample. We recommended further studies to investigate the risk of efavirenz underexposure and overexposure in carries of the extensive and poor metabolizer genotypes respectively in our patient population.
