Genome-Wide Association Study of COVID-19 Breakthrough Infections and Genetic Overlap with Other Diseases: A Study of the UK Biobank.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has led to substantial health and financial burdens worldwide, and vaccines provide hope for reducing the burden of this pandemic. However, vaccinated people remain at risk for SARS-CoV-2 infection. Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) may identify potential genetic factors involved in the development of COVID-19 breakthrough infections (BIs); however, very few or no GWASs have been conducted for COVID-19 BI thus far. We conducted a GWAS and detailed bioinformatics analysis on COVID-19 BIs in a European population via the UK Biobank (UKBB). We conducted a series of analyses at different levels, including SNP-based, gene-based, pathway, and transcriptome-wide association analyses, to investigate genetic factors associated with COVID-19 BIs and hospitalized infections. The polygenic risk score (PRS) and Hoeffding's test were performed to reveal the genetic relationships between BIs and other medical conditions. Two independent loci (LD-clumped at r
