Six genetic variants are associated with cardiovascular disease independently from canonical risk factors: a new method to refine GWAS results based on the UKBiobank phenotype database.

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
This paper describes a novel methodology based on GWAS filtering, aimed to find novel phenotypes associated to genetic loci independently of canonical risk factors using the large database of UK Biobank. Genome wide association studies (GWAS) is an untargeted methodology able to identify novel gene variants associated with diseases. Novel gene-phenotype associations might be discovered by this method. UKBiobank was interrogated by an automated routine to search associations between hundreds of phenotypes and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) resulting from GWAS, using Cardiovascular Disease as investigated trait. Six gene variants associated with CVD, independently of canonical risk factors, were identified using a variants database of more than 400k genotyped subjects (rs9349379 PHACTR1;intragenic_variant, rs74617384 LPA; intron_variant, rs4977574 CDKN2B-AS1;intron_variant, rs11191846 STN1;intron_variant, rs3184504, SH2B3;missense_variant, rs2929155 ADAMTS7;synonymous_variant). Novel clinical and biochemical phenotypes have been associated to the variants. The phenotypical characterization of the loci helped to propose mechanistic links that could explain their connection to CVD.
