Shared Genetic Architecture Among Gastrointestinal Diseases, Schizophrenia, and Brain Subcortical Volumes.
Article in Schizophrenia bulletin, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
background and hypothesisThe gut-brain axis plays important roles in both gastrointestinal diseases (GI diseases) and schizophrenia (SCZ). Moreover, both GI diseases and SCZ exhibit notable abnormalities in brain subcortical volumes. However, the genetic mechanisms underlying the comorbidity of these diseases and the shared alterations in brain subcortical volumes remain unclear. STUDY
designUsing the genome-wide association studies data of SCZ, 14 brain subcortical volumes, and 8 GI diseases, the global polygenic overlap and local genetic correlations were identified, as well as the shared genetic variants among those phenotypes. Furthermore, we conducted multi-trait colocalization analyses to bolster our findings. Functional annotations, cell-type enrichment, and protein-protein interaction (PPI) analyses were carried out to reveal the critical etiology and pathology mechanisms. STUDY
resultsThe global polygenic overlap and local genetic correlations informed the close relationships between SCZ and both GI diseases and brain subcortical volumes. Moreover, 84 unique lead-shared variants were identified. The associated genes were linked to vital biological processes within the immune system. Additionally, significant correlations were observed with key immune cells and the PPI analysis identified several histone-associated hub genes. These findings highlighted the pivotal roles played by the immune system for both SCZ and GI diseases, along with the shared alterations in brain subcortical volumes.
conclusionsThese findings revealed the shared genetic architecture contributing to SCZ and GI diseases, as well as their shared alterations in brain subcortical volumes. These insights have substantial implications for the concurrent development of intervention and therapy targets for these diseases.
