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

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia in the world. Human genetics can provide strong AF therapeutic candidates, but the identification of the causal genes and their functions remains challenging. Here, we applied an AF fine-mapping strategy that leverages results from a previously published cross-ancestry genome-wide association study (GWAS), expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) from left atrial appendages (LAAs) obtained from two cohorts with distinct ancestry, and a paired RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and ATAC sequencing (ATAC-seq) LAA single-nucleus assay (sn-multiome). At nine AF loci, our co-localization and fine-mapping analyses implicated 14 genes. Data integration identified several candidate causal AF variants, including rs7612445 at
