Pharmacogenomic profiling of ABCB1 and CES1 in atrial fibrillation patients on dabigatran from a multiethnic Malaysian cohort.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are preferred for atrial fibrillation (AF) due to their efficacy and safety, though response variabilities raises concerns about fixed-dose regimens. This study investigates the association between ABCB1 and CES1 genetic polymorphisms with Dabigatran trough drug levels (DL), clotting time (CT), and clinical outcomes in a multiethnic Malaysian cohort. A total of 180 AF patients in Dabigatran were sequenced across the entire length of ABCB1 and CES1 genes using the Illumina MiSeq platform. Trough Dabigatran levels and clotting time were measured by LC-MS/MS and viscoelastic assay (Clotpro®), respectively. Patients were followed up for one year to assess major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE). The mean dabigatran level was 34.7 ± 45.4 ng/ml (CV: 130%), and clotting time was 374.6 ± 207.9 s (CV: 55.5%). Trough levels were significantly correlated with clotting time (r = 0.663, p < 0.001). Multiple non-coding variants in ABCB1 and CES1 showed nominal associations (unadjusted p < 0.05) with drug level (35 SNPs) and/or clotting time (32 SNPs), although none remained statistically significant after false discovery rate correction. A total of 17 SNPs overlapped, and were associated with both. Overall, these findings suggest that non-coding regulatory variation may contribute to inter-individual variability in dabigatran pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, but the results are exploratory and require replication in larger cohorts. This study highlights the importance of population-specific pharmacogenomic research for future investigations on personalized anticoagulation strategies.
