Functional genomics and assays of regulatory activity detect mechanisms at loci for lipid traits and coronary artery disease.
Review in Current opinion in genetics & development, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Many genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified signals located in non-coding regions, and an increasing number of functional genomics annotations of regulatory elements and assays of regulatory activity have been used to investigate mechanisms. Genome-wide datasets that characterize chromatin structure help detect potential regulatory elements. Assays to experimentally assess candidate variants include transcriptional reporter assays, and recently, massively parallel reporter assays (MPRAs). Additionally, the effect of candidate regulatory elements and variants on gene expression and function can be evaluated using genomic editing with the CRISPR-Cas9 technology. We highlight some recent studies that employed these strategies to identify variant effects and elucidate molecular and/or biological mechanisms at GWAS loci for lipid traits and coronary artery disease.
