Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms Associated With Motor Recovery in Patients With Nondisabling Stroke: GWAS Study.
Article in Neurology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 6 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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesDespite notable advances in genetic understanding of stroke recovery, most studies focus only on candidate genes. To date, only 2 genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have focused on stroke outcomes, but they were limited to the modified Rankin Scale (mRS). The mRS maps poorly to biological processes. Therefore, we performed a GWAS to discover single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with motor recovery poststroke.
methodsWe used the Vitamin Intervention for Stroke Prevention (VISP) data set of 2,100 genotyped participants with nondisabling stroke. We included only participants who had motor impairment at randomization. Participants with a recurrent stroke during the trial were excluded. Genotyped data underwent strict quality control and imputation. The GWAS used logistic regression models with generalized estimating equations to leverage the repeated NIH Stroke Scale motor score measurements spanning 6 time points over 24 months. The primary outcome was a decrease in the motor drift score of ≥1 vs <1 at each time point. Our model estimated the odds ratio (OR) of motor improvement for each SNP after adjusting for age, sex, race, days from stroke to visit, initial motor score, VISP treatment arm, and principal components.
resultsA total of 488 (64%) participants with a mean (SD) age of 66 ± 11 years were included in the GWAS. Although no associations reached genome-wide significance ( DISCUSSION: We identified novel suggestive genetic associations with the first-ever motor-specific poststroke recovery GWAS. The results seem to describe a distinct stroke recovery phenotype compared with prior genetic stroke outcome studies that use outcome measures, such as the mRS. Replication and further mechanistic investigation are warranted. In addition, this study demonstrated a proof-of-principle approach to optimize statistical efficiency with longitudinal data sets for genetic discovery.
