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

Previous genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified genetic loci associated with the circulating levels of FAs, but the biological mechanisms of these genetic associations remain largely unexplored. Here, we conducted GWAS to identify additional genetic loci for 19 circulating fatty acid (FA) traits in UK Biobank participants of European ancestry (N = 239,268) and five other ancestries (N = 508 - 4,663). We leveraged the GWAS findings to characterize genetic correlations and colocalized regions among FAs, explore sex differences, examine FA loci influenced by lipoprotein metabolism, and apply statistical fine-mapping to pinpoint putative causal variants. We integrated GWAS signals with multi-omics quantitative trait loci (QTL) to reveal intermediate molecular phenotypes mediating the associations between the genetic loci and FA levels. Altogether, we identified 215 significant loci for polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs)-related traits in European participants, 163 loci for monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs)-related traits, and 119 loci for saturated fatty acids (SFAs)-related traits, including 70, 61, and 54 novel loci, respectively. A novel locus for total FAs, the percentage of omega-6 PUFAs in total FAs, and total MUFAs (around genes
