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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundAnti-tuberculosis drug-induced liver injury (ATLI) is a significant adverse drug reaction with genetic susceptibility implications.

aimThis study aimed to integrate findings from systematic reviews and meta-analyses on genetic polymorphisms associated with ATLI risk, enhance evidence synthesis, and identify susceptibility gene polymorphisms linked to ATLI occurrence.

methodThe protocol was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42024517311). Systematic searches of PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases were conducted to identify eligible studies from inception to February 21, 2024. Two authors independently reviewed eligibility, extracted data, and assessed quality. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to evaluate associations between genetic polymorphisms and ATLI susceptibility.

resultsA total of 25 meta-analyses were included, including 57 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 15 candidate genes. Significant associations were found for the glutathione S-transferase M1 (GSTM1) null genotype (OR = 1.43, 95% CI: 1.18-1.73, P < 0.001) and N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) polymorphisms, including rs1799929 (dominant model, OR = 1.35, 95% CI: 1.12-1.63, P < 0.001), rs1799930 (dominant model, OR = 1.43, 95% CI: 1.23-1.66, P < 0.001), rs1799931 (dominant model, OR = 1.22, 95% CI: 1.02-1.46, P = 0.03), and the slow acetylator (SA) phenotype (OR = 2.91, 95% CI: 2.43-3.49, P < 0.001). No significant association was found between the CYP2E1 RsaI/PstI polymorphism (C1/C1 genotype) and ATLI risk (dominant model, OR = 0.79, 95% CI: 0.61-1.02, P = 0.08).

conclusionThis umbrella review confirms that the GSTM1 null genotype, NAT2 polymorphisms (rs1799929, rs1799930, rs1799931), and the slow acetylator phenotype are associated with increased ATLI risk. These findings provide a foundation for further research on genotype-guided approaches to mitigating ATLI.
