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

Purpose: To systematically explore the potential causal relationships among gene expression, DNA methylation, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) susceptibility using a multi-omics Mendelian randomization (MR) framework, and to further investigate key regulatory genes and methylation sites potentially involved in COPD pathogenesis. Patients and Methods: We integrated genome-wide association study (GWAS) data from 635,145 individuals, expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) data (N=15,695) from the eQTLGen Consortium, and methylation quantitative trait loci (mQTL) data from the Genetics of DNA Methylation Consortium (GoDMC). Two-sample Mendelian randomization was performed using genome-wide significant, linkage disequilibrium (LD)-independent (P < 5×10 Results: We identified eight putative causal genes for COPD based on Mendelian randomization and colocalization analyses. Conclusion: This analysis suggests that
