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

In genomic medicine, the concept of genetically transitional disease (GTD) refers to cases in which gene mutation is necessary but not sufficient to cause disease. In this Perspective, we apply this novel concept to rheumatic diseases, which have been linked to hundreds of genetic variants via association studies. These variants are in the 'grey zone' between monogenic variants with large effect sizes and common susceptibility alleles with small effect sizes. Among genes associated with rare autoinflammatory diseases, many low-frequency and/or low-penetrance variants are known to increase susceptibility to systemic inflammation. In autoimmune diseases, hundreds of HLA and non-HLA genetic variants have been revealed to be modest- to moderate-risk alleles. These diseases can be reclassified as GTDs. The same concept could apply to many other human diseases. GTD could improve the reporting of genetic testing results, diagnostic yields, genetic counselling and selection of therapy, as well as facilitating research using a novel approach to human genetic diseases.
