Genes, environment, and African ancestry in cardiometabolic disorders.
Review in Trends in endocrinology and metabolism: TEM, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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 past two decades have been characterized by a substantial global increase in cardiometabolic diseases, but the prevalence and incidence of these diseases and related traits differ across populations. African ancestry populations are among the most affected yet least included in research. Populations of African descent manifest significant genetic and environmental diversity and this under-representation is a missed opportunity for discovery and could exacerbate existing health disparities and curtail equitable implementation of precision medicine. Here, we discuss cardiometabolic diseases and traits in the context of African descent populations, including both genetic and environmental contributors and emphasizing novel discoveries. We also review new initiatives to include more individuals of African descent in genomics to address current gaps in the field.
