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

Heart failure arises from maladaptive remodelling driven by genetic and epigenetic networks. Using a systems genetics framework, we mapped how DNA variants and CpG methylation shape cardiac transcriptomes during beta adrenergic stress in the Hybrid Mouse Diversity Panel, a cohort of over 100 fully inbred mouse strains. Expression QTLs (eQTLs), methylation QTLs (mQTLs) and methylation-driven eQTLs (emQTLs) were generated from over 13k expressed genes and 200k hypervariable CpGs in left ventricles. We discovered hundreds of regulatory 'hotspots' that control large portions of the genome, including several that regulate over 10% of the transcriptome and/or methylome. Approximately 16% of these hotspots overlapped with prior GWAS or EWAS signals. We focus on a hotspot on chromosome 12 and identify the serpine peptidase inhibitor
