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

Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is highly prevalent in recent years, but the genetic architecture remains unknown. We perform a multitrait analysis of genome-wide association study on NSSI, incorporating self-harm and suicide attempt. Common genetic variants account for 6.03% of NSSI variance. Three risk loci are associated with NSSI at 7q31.2 (rs62474683), DCC (rs4372758), and LCA5L/GET1/GET1-SH3BGR (rs2837022). Increased expression levels of GET1/SH3BGR in hippocampus relates to NSSI risk. Fine-mapping identifies seven likely causal variants, and colocalization with rs4281987 and rs2837022 evidences SH3BGR/GET1 expression in hippocampus to NSSI. In an independent sample, polygenic risk score for NSSI is associated with children's NSSI behavior, suicidal ideation, and suicide attempt (odds ratios [ORs]: 1.14-1.37). Reduction in right temporal pole volume mediates NSSI genetic liability for children's NSSI behavior. Walking for pleasure and exercises like swimming and bowling reduces NSSI risk, whereas smoking increases it. This study elucidates the NSSI genetic basis and its impact on children's emotions, behavior, and brain structure.
