Variants on chromosome 6p22.3 associated with blood pressure in the HyperGEN study: follow-up of FBPP quantitative trait loci.
Article in American journal of hypertension, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
backgroundA recent meta-analysis of genome-wide linkage scans of blood pressure (BP) in the large (N = 13,044) Family Blood Pressure Program (FBPP) identified five quantitative trait loci (QTLs) on chromosomes 6, 8, 20, and 21. We conducted follow-up fine mapping studies in 1,251 African (AA) and 1,254 European American (EA) participants of the Hypertension Genetic Epidemiology Network (HyperGEN).
methodsEthnic-specific linear mixed effects models were used to test associations of BP with genotyped and imputed single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) contained in the logarithm of odds (LOD) score ≥2 interval under each of the QTL peaks. We used multipoint variance components models to perform linkage analysis conditional on each significant SNP in the QTL region to see if the SNP explained the QTL.
resultsThree intergenic SNPs (rs898164, rs2876587, rs6935795) on chromosome 6p22.3 were significantly associated with pulse pressure (using appropriate Bonferroni correction). Conditioning on the significant SNPs reduced the chromosome 6 QTL linkage evidence by 14-30%. Both AAs and EAs exhibited suggestive associations between BP and intronic SNPs on chromosomes 8q24.12 (genes: OPG in AAs, SAMD12 in EAs), 20q13.12 (genes: SLC13A3 in AAs, SLC12A5 in EAs), and 21q21.1 (genes: C21orf34 in AAs, BC039377 in EAs).
conclusionsSignificant associations with common SNPs explained less than 1/3 of the QTL evidence. Our results cannot refute the hypothesis that rare variants account for most of the statistical evidence for the FBPP linkage peaks. Whole genome resequencing can identify the variants driving the linkage peaks and genome-wide association study (GWAS) hits thereby spurring investigations to deepen our understanding of hypertension pathophysiology.
