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

Background: A previous study successfully identified 148 of 23,098 exposures associated with any psychotic experiences (PEs) in the UK Biobank using an exposome-wide association study (XWAS). Furthermore, research has shown that the polygenic risk score for schizophrenia (PRS-SCZ) is associated with PEs. However, the interaction of these exposures with PRS-SCZ remains unknown. Method: To systematically investigate possible gene-by-environment interactions underlying PEs through data-driven agnostic analyses, we conducted 1) conditional XWAS adjusting for PRS-SCZ to estimate the main effects of the exposures and of PRS-SCZ, 2) exposome-wide interaction study (XWIS) to estimate multiplicative and additive interactions between PRS-SCZ and exposures, and 3) correlation analyses between PRS-SCZ and exposures. The study included 148,502 participants from the UK Biobank. Results: In the conditional XWAS models, significant effects of PRS-SCZ and 148 exposures on PEs remained statistically significant. In the XWIS model, we found significant multiplicative (multiplicative scale, 1.23; 95% CI, 1.10-1.37; Conclusions: These findings reveal evidence for gene-by-environment interactions underlying PEs and suggest that intertwined pathways of genetic vulnerability and exposures may contribute to psychosis risk.
