Characterizing the Genetic Overlap Between Psychiatric Disorders and Sleep-Related Phenotypes.

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
backgroundA range of sleep disturbances are commonly experienced by patients with psychiatric disorders, and genome-wide genetic analyses have shown some significant genetic correlations between these traits. Here, we applied novel statistical genetic methodologies to better characterize the potential shared genetic architecture between sleep-related phenotypes and psychiatric disorders.
methodsUsing the MiXeR method, which can estimate polygenic overlap beyond genetic correlation, the shared genetic architecture between major psychiatric disorders (bipolar disorder [N = 51,710], depression [N = 480,359], and schizophrenia [N = 77,096]) and sleep-related phenotypes (chronotype [N = 449,734], insomnia [N = 386,533] and sleep duration [N = 446,118]) were quantified on the basis of genetic summary statistics. Furthermore, the conditional/conjunctional false discovery rate framework was used to identify specific shared loci between these phenotypes, for which positional and functional annotation were conducted with FUMA.
resultsExtensive genetic overlap between the sleep-related phenotypes and bipolar disorder (63%-77%), depression (76%-79%), and schizophrenia (64%-79%) was identified, with moderate levels of congruence between most investigated traits (47%-58%). Specific shared loci were identified for all bivariate analyses, and a subset of 70 credible genes were mapped to these shared loci.
conclusionsThe current results provide evidence for substantial polygenic overlap between psychiatric disorders and sleep-related phenotypes, beyond genetic correlation (|r
