Value of multilocus genetic risk score for atrial fibrillation in end-stage kidney disease patients in a Polish population.
Article in Scientific reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Genetic factors play a key role in the pathogenesis of atrial fibrillation (AF). We would like to establish an association between previously described single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and AF in haemodialysed patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD-HD) as well as to assess the cumulative effect of all genotyped SNPs on AF risk. Sixteen SNPs were genotyped in 113 patients with AF-ESKD-HD and in 157 controls: without AF (NAF) and with ESKD-HD. The distribution of the risk alleles was compared in both groups and between different sub-phenotypes. The multilocus genetic risk score (GRS) was calculated to estimate the cumulative risk conferred by all SNPs. Several loci showed a trend toward an association with permanent AF (perm-AF): CAV1, Cx40 and PITX2. However, GRS was significantly higher in the AF and perm-AF groups, as compared to NAF. Three of the tested variables were independently associated with AF: male sex, history of myocardial infarction (MI) and GRS. The GRS, which combined 13 previously described SNPs, showed a significant and independent association with AF in a Polish population of patients with ESKD-HD and concomitant AF. Further studies on larger groups of patients are needed to confirm the associations.
