A new perspective on population genetics: Deciphering the relationship between genetic variants and disease prevalence in Psoriasis.
Article in PloS one, 2026. 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
In the quest to identify the genetic underpinnings of complex diseases, we developed a novel approach called Causal Genotype Combination Patterns (CGCP) to uncover characteristic genetic signatures of common diseases. In this study, we applied the CGCP method to a whole-exome sequencing dataset of 781 psoriasis cases and 676 healthy controls from the Chinese Han population. Our analysis revealed 620 genotype combinations specific to psoriasis, covering 4.7% to 10% of all cases, with each genotype having a frequency of at least 1%. These genotypes converged into 134 genes, including 41 previously reported to be associated with psoriasis. By leveraging public data from the 1000 Genomes Project Phase III and literature reviews on psoriasis prevalence in various ethnic populations, we established a strong positive correlation and linear regression model (y = 61.72x + 0.48, 95% CI [21.60, 101.84]) between the average frequency of these psoriasis-specific genotype combinations and disease prevalence across populations. This finding may explain the varying prevalence of psoriasis in different populations. Our strategy offers a new perspective on understanding the characteristics of population genetics in common diseases.
