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

C-reactive protein (CRP) serves as a pivotal marker of systemic inflammation, yet its genetic architecture has predominantly been explored within European populations. Our multi-ancestry sequencing-based genome-wide association study (seqGWAS) meta-analysis encompasses 447,369 Europeans, 10,389 Africans, 9685 Asians, and 9200 Hispanics in the discovery set, and 23,521 Europeans, 7160 Africans, 771 Asians, and 5178 Hispanics in the replication set. We identify 113 independent association signals (P
