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

Background: Hypertension is a highly heritable cardiovascular disorder and a major determinant of cardiometabolic disease, including diabetes. However, the regulatory genes and tissue-specific mechanisms underlying blood pressure variations remain incompletely understood. Methods: Leveraging a well-characterized prospective population-based cohort comprised of 27,308 participants from the Singapore Chinese Health Study (SCHS), we evaluated genome-wide genetic associations for five blood pressure traits: hypertension status, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure (MAP) and pulse pressure (PP). Additionally, we conducted a transcriptome-wide association study (TWAS), integrating gene expression data from 49 tissues, followed by colocalization and fine-mapping to prioritize regulatory genes. Association of identified variants with incident diabetes was additionally evaluated in the longitudinal data. Results: We validated 10 blood pressure loci ( Conclusion: This study refines genetic predispositions for blood pressure among East-Asians. We further delineate tissue-specific regulatory pathways underlying blood pressure variations and identify
