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

Abundant Genome-wide association study (GWAS) findings have reflected the sharing of genetic variants among multiple phenotypes. Exploring the association between genetic variants and multiple traits can provide novel insights into the biological mechanism of complex human traits. In this article, we proposed to apply the generalized Berk-Jones (GBJ) test and the generalized higher criticism (GHC) test to identify the genetic variants that affect multiple traits based on GWAS summary statistics. To be more robust to different gene-multiple traits association patterns across the whole genome, we proposed an omnibus test (OMNI) by using the aggregated Cauchy association test. We conducted extensive simulation studies to investigate the type one error rates and compare the powers of the proposed tests (i.e., the GBJ, GHC and OMNI tests) and the existing tests (i.e., the minimum of the
