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

Cisplatin is a widely used chemotherapeutic drug for various cancers. One of the common adverse effects of cisplatin is nephrotoxicity including acute kidney injury (AKI) and acute kidney disease (AKD). Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) can be used to identify cancer patients who are susceptible to developing cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity (CIN). In this study, we validated the association between 6 SNPs in the drug metabolizing enzyme genes, SLC22A2 (rs316019) & EPHX1 (rs1051740), and the DNA repair genes, ERCC1 (rs11615 & rs3212986) & ERCC2 (rs13181 & rs1799793), and CIN in the 169 Thai patients with head and neck, lung, or esophageal cancer. Effect of these SNPs on cumulative incidence of AKD, progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) was also assessed. EPHX1 rs1051740 TC genotype was significantly associated with AKD in co-dominant [OR 2.894, 95% CI 1.091-7.680; P = 0.033] and over-dominant [OR 2.793, 95% CI 1.333-5.851; P = 0.006] models, and with an increased cumulative incidence of AKD (P = 0.021). Additionally, ERCC2 rs13181 and rs1799793 were significantly associated with OS (P = 0.002 and 0.004). Our results reveal an association between EPHX1 rs1051740 and AKD, and confirms the previously reported associations between ERCC2 SNPs and OS. These findings may help in predicting CIN in Thai cancer patients.
