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

Kidney stone disease is a multifactorial disease with increasing incidence worldwide. Trans-ancestry GWAS has become a popular strategy to dissect genetic structure of complex traits. Here, we conduct a large trans-ancestry GWAS meta-analysis on kidney stone disease with 31,715 cases and 943,655 controls in European and East Asian populations. We identify 59 kidney stone disease susceptibility loci, including 13 novel loci and show similar effects across populations. Using fine-mapping, we detect 1612 variants at these loci, and pinpoint 25 causal signals with a posterior inclusion probability >0.5 among them. At a novel locus, we pinpoint TRIOBP gene and discuss its potential link to kidney stone disease. We show that a cross-population polygenic risk score, PRS-CSx
