Fig. 4: Histogram of distribution of test statistics and effect sizes for associations between pLoF burden of gene and the corresponding protein (plasma levels) pairs.

Histograms of Z scores (left) and signed effect sizes (right) for the association between pLoF burden and encoded protein levels in plasma. The graphs indicate that pLoF lowers plasma-protein levels for most gene-protein pairs, although confidence intervals overlap the null for a substantial proportion, and there are a few outliers in the opposite direction.
