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

Ischemic stroke is a leading cause of global mortality and long-term disability. However, there is a paucity of whole-genome sequencing studies on ischemic stroke, resulting in limited knowledge of the interplay between genomic and phenotypic variations among affected patients. Here, we outline the STROMICS design and present the first whole-genome analysis on ischemic stroke by deeply sequencing and analyzing 10,241 stroke patients from China. We identified 135.59 million variants, > 42% of which were novel. Notable disparities in allele frequency were observed between Chinese and other populations for 89 variants associated with stroke risk and 10 variants linked to response to stroke medications. We investigated the population structure of the participants, generating a map of genetic selection consisting of 31 adaptive signals. The adaption of the MTHFR rs1801133-G allele, which links to genetically evaluated VB9 (folate acid) in southern Chinese patients, suggests a gene-specific folate supplement strategy. Through genome-wide association analysis of 18 stroke-related traits, we discovered 10 novel genetic-phenotypic associations and extensive cross-trait pleiotropy at 6 lipid-trait loci of therapeutic relevance. Additionally, we found that the set of loss-of-function and cysteine-altering variants present in the causal gene NOTCH3 for the autosomal dominant stroke disorder CADASIL displayed a broad neuro-imaging spectrum. These findings deepen our understanding of the relationship between the population and individual genetic layout and clinical phenotype among stroke patients, and provide a foundation for future efforts to utilize human genetic knowledge to investigate mechanisms underlying ischemic stroke outcomes, discover novel therapeutic targets, and advance precision medicine.
