Multi-omics insights into the biological mechanisms underlying statistical gene-by-lifestyle interactions with smoking and alcohol consumption.
Article in Frontiers in genetics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Though both genetic and lifestyle factors are known to influence cardiometabolic outcomes, less attention has been given to whether lifestyle exposures can alter the association between a genetic variant and these outcomes. The Cohorts for Heart and Aging Research in Genomic Epidemiology (CHARGE) Consortium's Gene-Lifestyle Interactions Working Group has recently published investigations of genome-wide gene-environment interactions in large multi-ancestry meta-analyses with a focus on cigarette smoking and alcohol consumption as lifestyle factors and blood pressure and serum lipids as outcomes. Further description of the biological mechanisms underlying these statistical interactions would represent a significant advance in our understanding of gene-environment interactions, yet accessing and harmonizing individual-level genetic and 'omics data is challenging. Here, we demonstrate the coordinated use of summary-level data for gene-lifestyle interaction associations on up to 600,000 individuals, differential methylation data, and gene expression data for the characterization and prioritization of loci for future follow-up analyses. Using this approach, we identify 48 genes for which there are multiple sources of functional support for the identified gene-lifestyle interaction. We also identified five genes for which differential expression was observed by the same lifestyle factor for which a gene-lifestyle interaction was found. For instance, in gene-lifestyle interaction analysis, the T allele of rs6490056 (
