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

The X chromosome comprises approximately 5% of the human genome and encodes over 800 protein-coding genes, many of which exhibit sex-differentiated expression patterns due to escape from X chromosome inactivation (XCI) mechanisms. Despite its relevance to sex differences in complex traits, the X chromosome is routinely excluded from genome-wide association studies due to analytical challenges, and when analyzed, the impact of escape from XCI or sex is limitedly explored. No dedicated, publicly accessible browser for X chromosome-wide association study (XWAS) summary statistics currently exists, creating a barrier to systematic investigation of X-linked contributions to human traits. Here, we present geneXplore, an interactive web browser based on the PheWeb2 implementation, tailored for XWAS summary statistics across 1,944 phenotypes while distinguishing random XCI (rXCI), escape from XCI (eXCI), and sex-stratified analyses. Users can explore results via interactive plots (Manhattan and Miami, PheWAS and LocusZoom), searchable tables and access to cross-database lookup, with full summary statistics available for download.
