Trial report in Cancer chemotherapy and pharmacology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06383338 (A Prospective Feasibility Study Investigating PhEnoconversion of CYP3A4, CYP2C19 and CYP2D6 Genotype in Paediatric and Adolescent and Young Adult patientS With an acUte diagnosiS of Hodgkin or Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma.), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract

purposeGenetic variation in the activation of the prodrug cyclophosphamide (CP) by cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes has been shown to influence outcomes. However, CYP are also subject to phenoconversion due to either the effects of comedications or cancer associated down-regulation of expression. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between CP bioactivation with CYP2B6 and CYP2C19 genotype, as well as CYP2C19 phenotype, in breast cancer patients.

methodsCP and the active metabolite levels were assessed in breast cancer patients (n = 34) at cycle 1 and cycle 3 of treatment. Patients were genotyped for a series of SNP known to affect CYP2B6 and CYP2C19 function. The activity of CYP2C19 was also assessed using a probe drug.

resultsWe found a significant linear gene-dose relationship with CYP2B6 coding SNP and formation of 4-hydroxycyclophosphamide. A possible association with CYP2C19 null genotype at cycle 1 was obscured at cycle 3 due to the substantial intra-individual change in CP bioactivation on subsequent dosing.

conclusionComedications may be the cause for this inter-occasion variation in bioactivation of cyclophosphamide and the ensuing phenoconversion may account for the conflicting reports in the literature about the relationship between CYP2C19 genotype and CP bioactivation pharmacokinetics.
