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

backgroundMosaic loss of chromosome Y (mLOY) in leukocytes of men reflects genomic instability from aging, smoking, and environmental exposures. A similar mosaic loss of chromosome X (mLOX) occurs among women. However, the associations between mLOY, mLOX, and risk of incident heart diseases are unclear. METHODS AND

resultsWe estimated associations between mLOY, mLOX, and risk of incident heart diseases requiring hospitalization, including atrial fibrillation, myocardial infarction, ischemic heart disease, cardiomyopathy, and heart failure. We analyzed 190 613 men and 224 853 women with genotyping data from the UK Biobank. Among these participants, there were 37 037 men with mLOY and 13 978 women with mLOX detected using the Mosaic Chromosomal Alterations caller. Multivariable Cox regression was used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% CIs of each incident heart disease in relation to mLOY in men and mLOX in women. Additionally, Mendelian randomization was conducted to estimate causal associations. Among men, detectable mLOY was associated with elevated risk of atrial fibrillation (HR, 1.06 [95% CI, 1.03-1.11]). The associations were apparent in both never smokers (HR, 1.07 [95% CI, 1.01-1.14]) and ever smokers (HR, 1.05 [95% CI, 1.01-1.11]) as well as men aged >60 and ≤60 years. Mendelian randomization analyses supported causal associations between mLOY and atrial fibrillation (HR

conclusionsOur findings suggest that mLOY and mLOX reflect sex-specific biological processes or exposure profiles related to incident atrial fibrillation requiring hospitalization.
