CYP2D6 genotype and outcome in tamoxifen treated early breast cancer.

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
background and purposeThe clinical significance of individual CYP2D6 activity for the outcome of tamoxifen treatment in early breast cancer is unclear. Our previous investigation in patients diagnosed over the period 1998-2000 indicated an association between reduced CYP2D6 activity and poor outcome in premenopausal women. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between CYP2D6 genotype and clinical outcome in a larger tamoxifen treated cohort. PATIENTS/MATERIAL AND
methodsSwedish breast cancer patients who initiated adjuvant tamoxifen treatment over the period 2006-2014 constituted the full study cohort. Clinical information was collected from medical records. Data on endocrine treatment, use of CYP2D6 inhibitors was retrieved from the Swedish Prescribed Drug Register. CYP2D6 was genotyped and translated into predicted metabolic activity. The association between CYP2D6 activity and clinical outcome was analyzed using Cox regression, controlling for potential confounding variables. Subgroup analyses were performed based on menopausal status, tamoxifen treatment for at least 1 year and as single endocrine treatment, HER2-status and tamoxifen monotherapy.
resultsA total of 1,103 patients were included. A total of 761 patients received tamoxifen as monotherapy. A total of 42% were premenopausal. Median follow-up was 11.4 years. No significant association was found between CYP2D6 activity and recurrence (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 1.18, 95% CI 0.92; 1.52) or breast cancer mortality (aHR 1.41, 95%CI 0.93; 2.13) in the full cohort, or in the subgroup with tamoxifen monotherapy (aHR 1.39, CI 0.99; 1.96 and 1.88, CI 0.98; 3.60 respectively).
interpretationNo association was noted between reduced CYP2D6 activity and poorer outcome in this early breast cancer cohort, with patients generally at lower risk of recurrence, reflecting the role of adjuvant tamoxifen in current clinical practice.
