Polygenic risk scores in clinical applications - opportunities and challenges.

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
Polygenic risk scores (PRS) are increasingly transitioning from research tools into instruments with direct clinical relevance. This review addresses both opportunities and challenges of PRS across disease contexts. Key applications include risk stratification in multifactorial and monogenic diseases, diagnostic support in etiologically heterogeneous disorders, and pharmacogenomic stratification. These are accompanied by substantial challenges, including limited transferability across diverse populations, insufficient methodological standardization, and barriers to effective risk communication. PRS hold considerable potential to contribute to a more individualized, predictive, and preventive medicine, provided that scientific rigor and responsibility guide their clinical translation.
