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

backgroundIdentification of COPD disease-causing genes is an important tool for understanding why COPD develops, who is at highest COPD risk and how new COPD treatments can be developed. Previous COPD genetic studies have identified a highly significant genetic association near

methodsSplicing quantitative trait locus (sQTL) analysis was performed to identify common genetic variants that alter RNA splicing in lung tissues. These lung sQTL signals were compared to COPD genetic association results near the

resultsAn established COPD genetic risk variant, rs34712979-A, creates a cryptic splice acceptor site that causes four separate splicing changes in
