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

The aim is to investigate the evidence for shared genetic architecture between each of asthma, allergic rhinitis and eczema with gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD). Structural equation models (SEM) and polygenic risk score (PRS) analyses are applied to three Swedish twin cohorts (n = 46,582) and reveal a modest genetic correlation between GERD and asthma of 0.18 and bidirectional PRS and phenotypic associations ranging between OR 1.09-1.14 and no correlations for eczema and allergic rhinitis. Linkage disequilibrium score regression is applied to summary statistics of recently published GERD and asthma/allergic disease genome wide association studies and reveals a genetic correlation of 0.48 for asthma and GERD, and Genomic SEM supports a single latent factor. A gene-/gene-set analysis using MAGMA reveals six pleiotropic genes (two at 12q13.2) associated with asthma and GERD. This study provides evidence that there is a common genetic architecture unique to asthma and GERD that may explain comorbidity and requires further investigation.
