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

Despite considerable progress on pathogenicity scores prioritizing variants for Mendelian disease, little is known about the utility of these scores for common disease. Here, we assess the informativeness of Mendelian disease-derived pathogenicity scores for common disease and improve upon existing scores. We first apply stratified linkage disequilibrium (LD) score regression to evaluate published pathogenicity scores across 41 common diseases and complex traits (average N = 320K). Several of the resulting annotations are informative for common disease, even after conditioning on a broad set of functional annotations. We then improve upon published pathogenicity scores by developing AnnotBoost, a machine learning framework to impute and denoise pathogenicity scores using a broad set of functional annotations. AnnotBoost substantially increases the informativeness for common disease of both previously uninformative and previously informative pathogenicity scores, implying that Mendelian and common disease variants share similar properties. The boosted scores also produce improvements in heritability model fit and in classifying disease-associated, fine-mapped SNPs. Our boosted scores may improve fine-mapping and candidate gene discovery for common disease.
