Polygenic risk scores of fasting insulin and insulin-related traits in a Taiwanese Han population.
Article in Cell & bioscience, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundInsulin regulates blood sugar levels and several physiological processes, but many aspects of the relationship between insulin regulation and genes still require further discussion. Thus, this study aimed to explore the genetic variations associated with changes in fasting insulin level in Taiwanese Han individuals through genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and polygenic risk score (PRS) analysis.
resultsThrough GWAS in the primary group and replication in the Follow-up group, no genome-wide significant loci were identified; however, three genes or SNPs, PIP4K2A, FTO, and rs3846601, approached significance. Among them, PIP4K2A and rs3846601 represent novel prominent fasting insulin susceptibility loci identified in this study. Consistency was noted among the target, validation, and Follow-up groups by PRS analysis. Significant associations were observed between fasting insulin level-derived PRS and type 2 diabetes (T2D) and BMI susceptibility. Strong and positive associations traits were found between various diseases/traits in PheWAS, they were morbid obesity, T2D, polycystic ovaries, chronic nonalcoholic liver disease, and hypertension.
conclusionsThis study identified fasting insulin-related loci and developed a PRS model, offering insights into genetic regulation and potential early risk assessment for metabolic diseases in Taiwanese Han population.
