Shared genetic architecture between the topology of brain white matter structural connectome and fluid intelligence.
Article in Communications biology, 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
White matter (WM) connections support efficient interregional communication and form the structural basis of human fluid intelligence. However, the shared genetic architecture between WM structural connectome and fluid intelligence remains largely unknown. In this study, we analyzed diffusion-weighted MRI data from 26,655 UK Biobank participants to construct individual WM connectome and performed genome-wide association analyses on global and regional network topology. We identified 41 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) significantly associated with global efficiency and 45 SNPs linked to nodal efficiency. Genetic correlations with fluid intelligence were observed for 128 brain regions, with 44 and 3 regions sharing SNPs within chromosomes 6q21 and 3p21.1, respectively. Mendelian randomization revealed causal effects from WM connectome to fluid intelligence, particularly in the orbital and superior frontal gyrus. Finally, integrating polygenic scores with network efficiency improved the prediction of individual fluid intelligence. These findings highlight the genetic basis linking WM connectome topology and fluid intelligence, providing new insights into the neurogenetic underpinnings of fluid intelligence.
