Functional interrogation of twenty type 2 diabetes-associated genes using isogenic hESC-derived β-like cells.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Genetic studies have identified numerous loci associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D), but the functional role of many loci has remained unexplored. In this study, we engineered isogenic knockout human embryonic stem cell (hESC) lines for 20 genes associated with T2D risk. We systematically examined β-cell differentiation, insulin production and secretion, and survival. We performed RNA-seq and ATAC-seq on hESC-β cells from each knockout line. Analyses of T2D GWAS signals overlapping with HNF4A-dependent ATAC peaks identified a specific SNP as a likely causal variant. In addition, we performed integrative association analyses and identified four genes (
