Genome-wide linkage and regional association study of obesity-related phenotypes: the GenSalt study.
Article in Obesity (Silver Spring, Md.), 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectiveTo identify chromosomal regions harboring quantitative trait loci for waist circumference (WC) and body mass index (BMI). DESIGN AND
methodsA genome-wide linkage scan and regional association study WC and BMI among 633 Chinese families was conducted.
resultsA significant linkage signal for WC was observed at 22q13.31-22q13.33 in the overall analysis (LOD = 3.13). Follow-up association study of 22q13.31-13.33 revealed an association between the TBC1D22A gene marker rs16996195 and WC (false discovery rate [FDR]-Q < 0.05). In gender-stratified analysis, suggestive linkage signals were attained for WC at 2p24.3-2q12.2 and 22q13.33 among females (LOD = 2.54 and 2.15, respectively). Among males, 6q12-6q13 was suggestively linked to BMI (LOD = 2.03). Single marker association analyses at these regions identified male-specific relationships of six single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at 2p24.3-2q12.2 (rs100955, rs13020676, rs13014034, rs12990515, rs17024325, and rs2192712) and five SNPs at 6q12-6q13 (rs7747318, rs7767301, rs12197115, rs12203049, and rs9454847) with the obesity-related phenotypes (all FDR-Q < 0.05). At chromosome 6q12-6q13, markers rs7755450 and rs11758293 predicted BMI in females (both FDR-Q < 0.05).
conclusionsGenomic regions on chromosomes 2, 6, and 22 which may harbor important obesity-susceptibility loci were described. Follow-up study of these regions revealed several novel variants associated with obesity related traits. Future work to confirm these promising findings is warranted.
