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: Physical and cognitive decline are common in older individuals, and traits related to grip strength and cognitive function are used to assess the common genetic structure between the two and to identify common risk loci and genes as well as the genetic mechanisms involved. Methods: On the basis of large-scale genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary-level datasets, we observed genetic overlaps between grip strength and cognitive function, and cross-trait pleiotropic analysis was performed to detect shared pleiotropic loci and genes. A series of functional annotations and tissue-specific analyses were performed to determine the influence of pleiotropic genes. Heritance enrichment analysis was used to detect crucial immune cells and tissues. Finally, drug targets were explored via the SMR method. Results: This study highlighted genetic mechanisms shared between five types of cognitive function-related traits and grip strength. This study identified 20 novel SNP loci (P < 5 × 10 Conclusion: Overall, our results provide new insights into the genetics of cognitive function and grip strength and shed light on the underlying molecular mechanisms that may be involved.
