Cis-regulated expression of non-conserved lincRNAs associates with cardiometabolic related traits.
Article in Journal of human genetics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Many complex disease risk loci map to intergenic regions containing long intergenic noncoding RNAs (lincRNAs). The majority of these is not conserved outside humans, raising the question whether genetically regulated expression of non-conserved and conserved lincRNAs has similar rates of association with complex traits. Here we leveraged data from the Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) project and multiple public genome-wide association study (GWAS) resources. Using an established transcriptome-wide association study (TWAS) tool, FUSION, we interrogated the associations between cis-regulated expression of lincRNAs and multiple cardiometabolic traits. We found that cis-regulated expression of non-conserved lincRNAs had a strikingly similar trend of association with complex cardiometabolic traits as conserved lincRNAs. This finding challenges the conventional notion of conservation that has led to prioritization of conserved loci for functional studies and calls attention to the need to develop comprehensive strategies to study the large number of non-conserved human lincRNAs that may contribute to human disease.
