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

backgroundAccumulating evidence demonstrates associations between clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) and increased risks of haematological and non-haematological health outcomes. Although adverse health consequences of CHIP have become well-documented, large knowledge gaps exist regarding the aetiology of CHIP.

objectiveTo investigate risk factors for CHIP using large-scale phenotypic data and Mendelian randomisation analysis.

methodsWe utilised rich phenotypic and genomic data from the UK Biobank (UKB) to perform a cross-sectional study to systematically investigate risk factors of CHIP, including around 460,000 participants recruited from 2006 to 2010. We used Logistic regression to estimate odds ratios (ORs) of CHIP in relation to risk factors (sociodemographic factors, lifestyle factors, history of diseases, blood cell count, blood biochemistry parameters, proteomics biomarkers and metabolomics biomarkers). In addition, we conducted Mendelian Randomisation (MR) analyses to assess causality between the studied risk factors and CHIP, using publicly available summary statistics of genome-wide association studies (GWAS).

resultsWe found that advanced age, smoking, history of several diseases (including breast cancer and leiomyoma of uterus), as well as several serum biomarkers (monocyte count, proteins LY75, SIGLEC6, SIRPB1 and CYB5R2) were associated with CHIP.

conclusionOur findings expanded existing knowledge base by demonstrating novel risk factors of CHIP, especially history of several diseases and serum biomarkers. These findings advance understanding of the aetiology of CHIP.
