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

Disease risk alleles influence the composition of cells present in the body, but modeling genetic effects on the cell states revealed by single-cell profiling is difficult because variant-associated states may reflect diverse combinations of the profiled cell features that are challenging to predefine. We introduce Genotype-Neighborhood Associations (GeNA), a statistical tool to identify cell-state abundance quantitative trait loci (csaQTLs) in high-dimensional single-cell datasets. Instead of testing associations to predefined cell states, GeNA flexibly identifies the cell states whose abundance is most associated with genetic variants. In a genome-wide survey of single-cell RNA sequencing peripheral blood profiling from 969 individuals, GeNA identifies five independent loci associated with shifts in the relative abundance of immune cell states. For example, rs3003-T (P = 1.96 × 10
