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

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common clinical disease caused by a variety of factors, including genetic variants. Although genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been performed to elucidate the genetic basis of OA, some loci of risk located in noncoding regions of the genome have been neglected. Therefore, we integrated multiple data types to detect the genetic component of gene expression in OA patients through transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS) and summary-data-based Mendelian randomization (SMR) analysis. Methods: TWAS was performed by integrating the larger GWAS summary-data for OA (n=30,727 cases, n=297,191 controls) and 2 expression weight sets (muscle-skeletal tissue and whole blood). Colocalization analysis, conditional analysis, and fine-mapping analysis were also conducted. A broad description of the identified associations was obtained. In addition, a causal relationship between certain risk genes and OA was identified with SMR. Results: New significant genome-wide associations were found, including on chromosome 1q36.12 (rs1555024, P=4.24E-07) near the Conclusions: We revealed some novel OA-associated genes and risk loci by integrating multiple data types and analysis methods, thus providing new clues for the study of genetic mechanisms of OA.
