Generalisation of genomic findings and applications of polygenic risk scores.
Article in BMC medical genomics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Polygenic Risk Scores (PRS) (also known as polygenic scores, genetic risk scores or polygenic indexes) capture genetic contributions of a multitude of markers that characterise complex traits. Although their likely application to precision medicine remains to be established, promising advances have included their ability to stratify high risk individuals and targeted screening interventions. Current PRS have been mostly optimised for individuals of Northern European ancestries. If PRS are to become widespread as a tool for healthcare applications, more diverse populations and greater capacity for derived interventions need to be accomplished. In this editorial we aim to attract submissions from the research community that highlight current challenges in development of PRS applications at scale. We also welcome manuscripts that delve into the ethical, social and legal implications that the implementation of PRS may generate.
