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

backgroundPsoriasis is a common chronic, recurrent, immune-mediated disease involved in the skin or joints or both. However, deeper insight into the genetic susceptibility of psoriasis is still unclear.

methodsHere we performed the largest multi-ancestry meta-analysis of genome-wide association study including 28,869 psoriasis cases and 443,950 healthy controls.

resultsWe identified 74 genome-wide significant loci for psoriasis. Of 74 loci, 32 were novel psoriasis risk loci. Across 74 loci, 801 likely causal genes are indicated and 164 causal genes are prioritized. SNP-based heritability analyses demonstrated that common variants explain 15% of genetic risk for psoriasis. Gene-set analyses and the genetic correlation revealed that psoriasis-related genes have the positive correlations with autoimmune diseases such as ulcerative colitis, inflammatory bowel diseases, and Crohn's disease. Gene-drug interaction analysis suggested that psoriasis-associated genes overlapped with targets of current medications for psoriasis. Finally, we used the multi-ancestry meta-analysis to explore drug repurposing and the potential targets for psoriasis.

conclusionsWe identified 74 genome-wide significant loci for psoriasis. Based on 74 loci, we provided new biological insights to the etiology of psoriasis. Of clinical interest, we gave some hints for 76 potential targets and drug repurposing for psoriasis.
