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

Motivated by genetic fine-mapping applications, we introduce a new approach to Bayesian variable selection regression (BVSR) for time-to-event (TTE) outcomes. This new approach is designed to deal with the specific challenges that arise in genetic fine-mapping, including: the presence of very strong correlations among the covariates, often exceeding 0.99; very large data sets containing potentially thousands of covariates and hundreds of thousands of samples. We accomplish this by extending the "Sum of Single Effects" (SuSiE) method to the Cox proportional hazards (CoxPH) model. We demonstrate the benefits of the new method, "CoxPH-SuSiE", over existing BVSR methods for TTE outcomes in simulated fine-mapping data sets. We also illustrate CoxPH-SuSiE on real data by fine-mapping asthma loci using data from UK Biobank. This fine-mapping identified 14 asthma risk SNPs in 8 asthma risk loci, among which 6 had strong evidence-a posterior inclusion probability greater than 50%-for being causal. Two of the 6 putatively causal variants are known to be pathogenic, and others lie within a genomic sequence that is known to regulate the expression of
