Decoding variants in drug-metabolizing enzymes and transporters in solid tumor patients by whole-exome sequencing.
Article in Saudi journal of biological sciences, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundPharmacogenetics is involved in customizing therapy according to the genetic makeup of an individual, and is applicable for chemotherapy, radiotherapy as well as targeted therapy. Drug metabolizing enzymes (DMEs) involving both phase I, and phase II reactions are widely studied. Our study was involved in whole exome sequencing (WES) of cancer patients, followed by analysis for identifying key variations in DMEs, and associated transporters that have a potential impact on treatment outcome. METHODOLOGY: A total of 181 solid tumor patients at stage >/= III were subjected to WES by the SureSelect
resultsThe total study cohort of 181 solid tumor patients included 60 males, and 121 females respectively. Among DMEs, deleterious mutation in dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (
conclusionOur analysis detected variations in both phase I and phase II DMEs, as well as associated transporter genes which has been documented to reduce drug efficacy, as well as cause grade 3 and 4 toxicity. Our study reiterates the significance of pharmacogenomics in stratifying patients for appropriate therapy regimen focused at better treatment outcome and quality of life.
