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
It remains unclear whether the observed heterogeneity in the burden of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) across countries is associated with differences in population genetic structure. To address this problem, we performed a burden quantitative trait locus (bQTL) analysis, integrating epidemiological data (1990-2021) from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study with genotypes of 2 621 978 SNPs from 2414 unrelated individuals in the 1000 Genomes Project across 20 matched countries. We identified 1074 bQTLs of IBD, of which 384 were significantly associated with both the age-standardized prevalence rate and age-standardized incidence rate. rs7633471 (chr3:30698616:C>A) showed the strongest effect: each increase in centi-allele frequency (CAF) of the allele C was associated with a 10.00 decrease in age-standardized prevalence rate and a 1.02 decrease in age-standardized incidence rate. Pathway analysis revealed that bQTLs were primarily enriched in synaptic membrane, voltage-gated potassium channel complex, and potassium channel complex. Through fine-mapping, we further identified 800 putative causal variants for IBD, with significant findings located within genes related to the immune system (IGSF21 and CSMD2), inflammatory response (SMPDL3B and AOAH), and intestinal cancers (FHIT and CSMD2). Our study provides the first comprehensive characterization of the genetic architecture underlying the global burden of IBD.
