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

We know little about how genetic risk factors for two disorders jointly act and interact in predisposing to illness. Therefore, in the Swedish population, born 1970-1990 (n = 2,116,082) and followed through 2015, we examine, using additive Cox models, the impact of the family genetic risk scores (FGRS) for alcohol use disorder (AUD) and major depression (MD), their interaction with each other and with the relevant comorbid disorder on risk for AUD and MD. FGRS scores are constructed using rates of illness in first-fourth degree relatives. FGRS for AUD and MD interacted in predicting of both disorders and one FRGS (e.g., for AUD) interacted with the phenotype of MD to predict that disorder (e.g., AUD). These FGRS interactions were not substantially attenuated by adding interactions with the disorders. These results replicated across sexes. In predicting risk for a given disorder, we rarely consider genetic liabilities for other disorders. But such effects were here significant and interactive. Furthermore, the primary disorder genetic risk interacts with comorbid disorders. The pathways to risk for disorders from their and other disorders' genetic liability may be more complex than commonly considered.
