Phenotype wide association study links bronchopulmonary dysplasia with eosinophilia in children.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. 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
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a common complication of preterm birth. Despite this, genetic drivers of BPD are poorly understood. The objective of this study is to better understand the impact of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) previously associated with BPD by examining associations with other phenotypes. We drew pediatric subjects from the biorepository at the Center for Applied Genomics to identify associations between these SNPs and 2,146 imputed phenotypes. Methylation data, external cohorts, and in silico validation methods were used to corroborate significant associations. We identified 60 SNPs that were previously associated with BPD. We found a significant association between rs3771150 and rs3771171 and mean eosinophil percentage in a European cohort of 6,999 patients and replicated this in external cohorts. Both SNPs were also associated with asthma, COPD and FEV1/FVC ratio. These SNPs displayed associations with methylation probes and were functionally linked to ST2 (IL1RL1) levels in blood and lung tissue. Our findings support a genetic justification for the epidemiological link between BPD and asthma. Given the well-established link between ST2 and type 2 inflammation in asthma, these findings provide a rationale for future studies exploring the role of type 2 inflammation in the pathogenesis of BPD.
