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

We developed an amplicon-based long-read sequencing approach that enables simultaneous detection of CYP2D6 single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) and copy-number variations (CNVs) in a single reaction. The SNVs of the two pseudogenes, CYP2D7 and CYP2D8, were also comprehensively characterized. CYP2D6 CNVs were inferred using CYP2D7 as a reference gene, integrating read-depth measurements with allele-frequency (AF) ratios. The entire CYP2D locus ( ~ 30.2Kb) and the three homologous genes separately (6.3-6.6Kb) were sequenced using Oxford Nanopore sequencing. Our analysis identified 21 CYP2D7 and 17 CYP2D8 unique haplotypes, and 57% of the SNVs detected in the pseudogenes had nucleotides corresponding to CYP2D6 reference nucleotides. A total of 36 variants found within the pseudogenes have also been annotated as functional variants in the CYP2D6 gene. The combined CYP2D6:CYP2D7 read-count ratio and reference-to-alternative alleles AF ratio accurately predicted CYP2D6 CNV status. This method is simple and rapid, making it potentially suitable for clinical implementation of pharmacogenomics.
