Genome-wide association study of therapeutic response to statin drugs in cardiovascular disease.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the main causes of death in the world. The increased level of blood cholesterol is significantly correlated to CVD incidents. Statins are a group of drugs that decrease the synthesis of cholesterol in the liver by inhibiting the final enzyme of the pathway named HMG-CoA reductase. Several investigations showed that different patients give different responses to the administration of statin drugs according to their genetic background. In this research study, using Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) data analysis methods, such as the SimpleM statistical approach and genomic connection matrix, we tried to discover the novel candidate SNPs that were involved in response to statin drugs. The investigation was carried out using 3,221 cardiovascular patients' data about genotypes and phenotypes of two important parameters including total cholesterol, and LDL level, in response to statin administration. Functional annotation of nearest genes to candidate SNPs was also carried out by using comprehensive databases and tools such as BioMart-Ensembl, UCSC, NCBI, and WebGestalt software. Our results represented eight novel SNPs (rs10820084, rs4803750, rs10989887, rs1966503, rs17502794, rs10785232, rs484071, rs4785621) significantly associated with statin response in different individual cardiovascular patients for the first time. In addition, the groups of genes that are close to the SNPs were also represented and evaluated in detail. Our results illustrated that some of the genes such as BAAT, BCL3, and CMTM6 have a direct functional impact on cholesterol level or LDL biosynthesis which confirmed the effects of neighbor SNPs on the response to statin drugs. Today, finding the loci, genes, and molecular mechanisms involved in the response to drugs is of great importance in pharmacogenomics and personalized medicine.
