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

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are commonly employed to study the genetic basis of complex traits/diseases, and a key question is how much heritability could be explained by all single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in GWAS. One widely used approach that relies on summary statistics only is linkage disequilibrium score regression (LDSC); however, this approach requires certain assumptions about the effects of SNPs (e.g., all SNPs contribute to heritability and each SNP contributes equal variance). More flexible modeling methods may be useful. We previously developed an approach recovering the "true" effect sizes from a set of observed
