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

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified thousands of non-coding variants associated with complex traits and diseases. However, it remains challenging to pinpoint the causal genes that are regulated by associated genetic variants. Connecting causal non-coding variants with genes can rely on methods that identify direct physical interactions (e.g. chromosome conformation capture) or on probabilistic models that predict regulatory links. These statistical models take advantage of gene expression and chromatin accessibility profiles generated in cells and tissues by bulk or single-cell (sc) methodologies. Here, we tested whether using bulk or sc RNAseq/ATACseq data and corresponding predictive enhancer-to-gene models impact the prioritization of causal GWAS genes.
