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

Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a highly heritable neurodevelopmental disorder. We performed a transcriptome-wide association study (TWAS) using the latest genome-wide association study (GWAS) meta-analysis, in 38,691 individuals with ADHD and 186,843 controls, and 14 gene-expression reference panels across multiple brain tissues and whole blood. Based on TWAS results, we selected subsets of genes and constructed transcriptomic risk scores (TRSs) for the disorder in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of individuals with ADHD and controls. We found evidence of association between ADHD and TRSs constructed using expression profiles from multiple brain areas, with individuals with ADHD carrying a higher burden of TRSs than controls. TRSs were uncorrelated with the polygenic risk score (PRS) for ADHD and, in combination with PRS, improved significantly the proportion of variance explained over the PRS-only model. These results support the complementary predictive potential of genetic and transcriptomic profiles in blood and underscore the potential utility of gene expression for risk prediction and deeper insight in molecular mechanisms underlying ADHD.
