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

Background: To generate an ancestry-resolved pharmacogenomic (PGx) landscape for Colombia by integrating all PharmGKB variant-drug annotations with local allele-frequency data, thereby quantifying inter-ancestry differences of clinical relevance and exposing evidence gaps that hinder equitable precision medicine. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of 4,462 PharmGKB variant annotations (1994-2024), retaining 1,216 significant single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) reported in 552 studies. Allele frequencies were extracted for five Colombian populations: two predominantly African (Palenque [PLQ], Chocó [CHG]) and three predominantly European (ATQCES, ATQPGC, CLM), from the CÓDIGO database. Spearman correlations compared population-specific PGx profiles; SNPs with >25 percentage-point frequency differentials were tabulated. Results: European ancestry dominated the global evidence base, representing 51.5% of 651,532 participants, while African ancestry accounted for only 0.46% (n = 3,031). Strong correlations were observed among European-leaning Antioquians ( Conclusion: Large, clinically actionable allele-frequency contrasts and pronounced discovery biases confirm the need for ancestry-aware PGx testing and locally calibrated dosing algorithms in Colombia. The analytic framework and variant catalogue generated knowledge to operationalize precision pharmacotherapy across admixed Latin-American populations.
