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

Latin America's exceptional genetic diversity, shaped by centuries of admixture among Native American, European, and African ancestries, presents both challenges and opportunities for pharmacogenomic implementation. Current guidelines by CPIC and DPWG, though foundational, are largely based on European and East Asian data, limiting their applicability in highly admixed populations. This article presents the rationale and methodology of RELIVAF (Latin American Network for the Implementation and Validation of Pharmacogenomic Clinical Guidelines), which aims to produce region-specific recommendations aligned with local genetic profiles, healthcare systems, and regulatory landscapes. The framework integrates international standards with country- and ancestry-specific allele frequencies, effect sizes, drug availability, and implementation constraints. It also incorporates educational strategies to promote pharmacogenomic literacy among healthcare professionals. Three gene-drug pairs were prioritized for initial guideline development:
