PORTABILITY OF GWAS RESULTS BETWEEN ETHNIC POPULATIONS: GENETIC MARKERS FOR POLYCYSTIC OVARY SYNDROME (PCOS) IN MEDITERRANEAN AREA.
Article in Acta endocrinologica (Bucharest, Romania : 2005). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 (GWAS) are excellent opportunities to define culprit genes in complex disorders such as the polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). PCOS is a prevalent disorder characterized by anovulation, hyperandrogenism and polycystic ovaries, which benefitted from several GWASs in Asians and Europeans revealing more than 20 potential culprit genes near associated single nucleotide variations (SNV). Translation of these findings into the clinical practice raises difficulties since positive hits are surrogate SNVs linked with causative mutations by linkage disequilibrium (LD). Studies in Mediterranean populations (e.g. Southern Europe and North Africa) raise supplementary problems because of a different LD-pattern, which may disrupt the link with causative mutations. Our experience in MEDIGENE program between Tunisia and France enforces the necessity of genetic anthropology studies before translating GWAS data. Tunisians are a heterogeneous population with ancestral Berbers, European, Arab and Sub-Saharan African components while South Europeans display a high level of genetic diversity, partially explained by gene flow from North Africa. Human diversity studies require sampling from Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region that will help to understand genetic factors in complex diseases.
