HLA-DQB1*03:01 strongly affects age of onset of type 1 narcolepsy independently of DQA1 and ethnicity.
Article in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Type 1 narcolepsy (T1N), an autoimmune disease associated with a disruption of hypocretin/orexin neurons, has conserved genetic effects transcending cultures and ethnicities. We pooled data from 5,339 cases from China, Europe, Korea, Japan, and the United States to conduct the first transethnic genome-wide association study (GWAS) on age of onset. Only one strong GWAS significant effect was observed across all ethnicities, summarized by the presence of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DQB1*03:01, and centered around the coding region of this gene. In contrast, HLA-DQB1*06:02-positive heterodimer (DQ0602) dosage did not strongly affect onset, and other known narcolepsy-associated genetic loci had minor effects. The HLA-DQB1*03:01 effect (mean -3.47 y,
