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

Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have reproducibly associated variants within intergenic regions of 1p36.12 locus with osteoporosis, but the functional roles underlying these noncoding variants are unknown. Through an integrative functional genomic and epigenomic analyses, we prioritized rs6426749 as a potential causal SNP for osteoporosis at 1p36.12. Dual-luciferase assay and CRISPR/Cas9 experiments demonstrate that rs6426749 acts as a distal allele-specific enhancer regulating expression of a lncRNA (LINC00339) (∼360 kb) via long-range chromatin loop formation and that this loop is mediated by CTCF occupied near rs6426749 and LINC00339 promoter region. Specifically, rs6426749-G allele can bind transcription factor TFAP2A, which efficiently elevates the enhancer activity and increases LINC00339 expression. Downregulation of LINC00339 significantly increases the expression of CDC42 in osteoblast cells, which is a pivotal regulator involved in bone metabolism. Our study provides mechanistic insight into how a noncoding SNP affects osteoporosis by long-range interaction, a finding that could indicate promising therapeutic targets for osteoporosis.
