A unified framework for cross-population trait prediction by leveraging the genetic correlation of polygenic traits.
Article in American journal of human genetics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 79 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 development of polygenic risk scores (PRSs) has proved useful to stratify the general European population into different risk groups. However, PRSs are less accurate in non-European populations due to genetic differences across different populations. To improve the prediction accuracy in non-European populations, we propose a cross-population analysis framework for PRS construction with both individual-level (XPA) and summary-level (XPASS) GWAS data. By leveraging trans-ancestry genetic correlation, our methods can borrow information from the Biobank-scale European population data to improve risk prediction in the non-European populations. Our framework can also incorporate population-specific effects to further improve construction of PRS. With innovations in data structure and algorithm design, our methods provide a substantial saving in computational time and memory usage. Through comprehensive simulation studies, we show that our framework provides accurate, efficient, and robust PRS construction across a range of genetic architectures. In a Chinese cohort, our methods achieved 7.3%-198.0% accuracy gain for height and 19.5%-313.3% accuracy gain for body mass index (BMI) in terms of predictive R
