Major Ethnic Populations Are Significantly Differentiated at the Glioblastoma Multiforme Candidate Loci.

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
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most aggressive primary brain tumor, with well-documented incidence disparities across ethnic populations: highest in Europeans and lowest in East Asians and Africans. Still, the genetic basis of these differences remains poorly understood. This study assessed whether population-level differences in GBM risk allele frequencies correlate with ethnic disparities in prevalence. We analyzed 673 genome-wide significant GBM candidate loci across five ethnic superpopulations and 26 subpopulations using phased genotype data from the 1000 Genomes Project Phase 3. Population genetic structure was characterized using allele frequencies, heterozygosity, Wright's fixation index, analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA), Nei's genetic distances, and principal coordinate analysis. Risk allele enrichment was visualized via hypergeometric heatmaps, and polygenic risk scores were compared using Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn's tests. Significant interpopulation differentiation was detected across all superpopulation pairs (
