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

While substantial progress has been made in finding genetic variants associated with nicotine dependence (ND), a large proportion of the genetic variants remain undiscovered. The current research focuses have shifted toward uncovering rare variants, gene-gene/gene-environment interactions, and structural variations predisposing to ND, the impact of genetic heterogeneity in ND has been nevertheless paid less attention. The study of genetic heterogeneity in ND not only could enhance the power of detecting genetic variants with heterogeneous effects in the population but also improve our understanding of genetic etiology of ND. As an initial step to understand genetic heterogeneity in ND, we applied a newly developed heterogeneity weighted U (HWU) method to 26 ND-related genes, investigating heterogeneous effects of these 26 genes in ND. We found no strong evidence of genetic heterogeneity in genes such as
