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

backgroundPharmacogenetic testing plays a key role in personalized pharmacotherapy and improving treatment outcomes; however, its benefit in clinical hyperpolypharmacy (≥ 10 chronic drugs) remains uncertain.

objectiveThis study assessed the impact of extensive pharmacogenetic testing in hyperpolypharmacy patients. The primary outcome was the number of actionable drug-gene interactions (DGIs) per patient; secondary outcomes included clinical recommendations, clinician adherence, and DGIs with potential for severe adverse events.

designThis intervention included 100 hyperpolypharmacy inpatients (≥ 10 drugs) from Maasstad Hospital internal ward and Antes psychiatry ward. Eligible patients (≥ 18 years) underwent a 14-gene pharmacogenetic panel test. A multidisciplinary team reviewed drug-gene interactions (DGIs), evaluated medical records, and implemented monitoring or medication adjustments as needed.

resultsAn average of 4.7 (interquartile range: 4.0-5.5) actionable variants in the tested pharmacogenes per patient was identified, resulting in at least one DGI in 46% of the patients, with an average of 0.6 DGI per patient. After evaluation by the multidisciplinary team, 12 out of 64 DGIs (19%) led to recommendations for interventions, with an adherence rate of 67%. In 5% of patients, the identified DGI could potentially be associated with a higher risk of hospitalization or mortality.

conclusionSystematic pharmacogenetic panel testing in clinical hyperpolypharmacy patients identified at least one DGI in 46% of the patients. Of these DGIs, 19% led to a recommendation for intervention. This study demonstrates that pharmacogenetic panel testing holds the potential to optimize pharmacotherapy in clinical hyperpolypharmacy patients.
