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

Multimorbidity is a rising public health challenge with important implications for health management and policy. The most common multimorbidity pattern is the combination of cardiometabolic and osteoarticular diseases. Here, we study the genetic underpinning of the comorbidity between type 2 diabetes and osteoarthritis. We find genome-wide genetic correlation between the two diseases and robust evidence for association-signal colocalization at 18 genomic regions. We integrate multi-omics and functional information to resolve the colocalizing signals and identify high-confidence effector genes, including FTO and IRX3, which provide proof-of-concept insights into the epidemiologic link between obesity and both diseases. We find enrichment for lipid metabolism and skeletal formation pathways for signals underpinning the knee and hip osteoarthritis comorbidities with type 2 diabetes, respectively. Causal inference analysis identifies complex effects of tissue-specific gene expression on comorbidity outcomes. Our findings provide insights into the biological basis for the type 2 diabetes-osteoarthritis disease co-occurrence.
