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

objectiveMental disorders are heritable and polygenic, and genome-wide genetic correlations (r

methodsThe authors applied the bivariate causal mixture model (MiXeR) to summary statistics for four mental disorders, four related mental traits, and height from genome-wide association studies (Ns ranged from 53,293 to 766,345). MiXeR estimated the number of "causal" variants for a given trait ("polygenicity"), the number of variants shared between traits, and the genetic correlation of shared variants (r

resultsAmong mental disorders, ADHD was the least polygenic (5.6K "causal" variants), followed by bipolar disorder (8.6K), schizophrenia (9.6K), and depression (14.5K). Most variants were shared across mental disorders (4.4K-9.3K) and between mental disorders and related traits (5.2K-12.8K), but with disorder-specific variations in r

conclusionsThere is extensive genetic overlap across mental disorders and related traits, with mixed effect directions and few disorder-specific variants. This suggests that genetic risk for mental disorders is predominantly differentiated by divergent effect distributions of pleiotropic genetic variants rather than disorder-specific variants. This represents a conceptual advance in our understanding of the landscape of shared genetic architecture across mental disorders, which may inform genetic discovery, biological characterization, nosology, and genetic prediction.
