Genetic determinants of drug-induced gingival overgrowth.
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
Drug-induced gingival overgrowth (DIGO) is a multifactorial adverse effect associated with calcium channel blockers and antiepileptic drugs, yet genetic susceptibility-particularly in Asian populations-remains poorly defined. We performed whole-genome sequencing in 74 Thai individuals, including 36 DIGO cases and 38 drug-exposed nonresponder controls. A genome-wide association study was conducted with adjustment for amlodipine exposure, which showed a significant association with DIGO. Complementary analyses included gene-based testing using Multi-marker Analysis of GenoMic Annotation, fine-mapping with Sum of Single Effects, haplotype analysis, and receiver operating characteristic-based risk modeling. Although no single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) reached genome-wide significance, we identified 350 lead SNPs across 34 genes showing strong associations with DIGO (p < 0.001). After multiple-testing correction, six genes/SNPs remained statistically significant (p < 0.05), representing the most robust findings. Haplotype analysis implicated TTC7B, RWDD1, TOM1L1, C1QL2, and BBS1 as DIGO risk genes. These genes, not previously linked to DIGO, are involved in cellular trafficking, phosphoinositide signaling, ciliary function, and protein regulation. Our findings indicate that DIGO susceptibility is driven by genetically determined cellular response pathways in the presence of amlodipine rather than by pharmacokinetic mechanisms. The absence of associations with CYP2C9 and HLA variants previously reported in other populations highlights the importance of ethnically diverse pharmacogenomic studies.
