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
The Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC) TPMT/NUDT15 Pharmacogene Curation Expert Panel (PCEP) conducted a comprehensive review of clinical, laboratory, and computational evidence to determine the clinical function assignments for TPMT and NUDT15 star alleles. These genes are critical for the metabolism of thiopurines, which are widely used in the treatment of cancer and autoimmune disorders. Standardized allele function assignment is essential for predicting metabolizer phenotypes and pharmacogenetics-guided thiopurine dosing. The work presented here includes the first designation of decreased function alleles for both TPMT and NUDT15, reflecting new clinical data that demonstrate partial loss of enzymatic activity and reduced dose tolerance. The panel also reclassified several alleles previously assigned uncertain or unknown function. The functional assignments were informed by a standardized framework incorporating clinical data, such as thiopurine tolerance and toxicity, as well as in vitro protein activity, ex vivo enzymatic measurements, and in silico variant effect prediction tools. These updates enhance the precision of genotype-to-phenotype mapping and support more personalized thiopurine therapy across diverse patient populations.
