Genetic Effects on the Correlation Structure of CVD Risk Factors: Exome-Wide Data From a Ghanaian Population.
Review in Global heart, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Plasma concentration of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) is highly correlated with several cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors. It also plays a direct role in CVD, including myocardial infarction and stroke, by impeding the dissolution of thrombi in the blood. Insofar as PAI-1 links CVD's risk factors to its endpoints, genetic variants modulating the relationship between PAI-1 and risk factors may be of particular clinical and biological interest. The high heritability of PAI-1, which has not been explained by genetic association studies, may also, in large part, be due to this relationship with CVD risk factors. Using exome-wide data from 1,032 Ghanaian study participants, we tested for heterogeneity of correlation by genotype between PAI-1 and 4 CVD risk factors (body mass index, triglycerides, mean arterial pressure, and fasting glucose) under the hypothesis that loci involved in the relationship between PAI-1 and other risk factors will also modify their correlational structure. We found more significant heterogeneities of correlation by genotype than we found marginal effects, with no evidence of type I inflation. The most significant result among all univariate and multivariate tests performed in this study was the heterogeneity of correlation between PAI-1 and mean arterial pressure at rs10738554, near SLC24A2, a gene previously associated with high blood pressure in African Americans.
