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

Late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD) is a neurodegenerative disorder of growing relevance in an aging society for which predictive biomarkers are needed. Many genes involved in LOAD are tightly controlled by microRNAs (miRNAs), which can be modulated by single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Our aim was to determine the association between SNPs in miRNAs and LOAD. We selected all SNPs in pre-miRNAs with a minor allele frequency (MAF) > 1% and genotyped them in a cohort of 229 individuals diagnosed with LOAD and 237 unrelated healthy controls. In silico analyses were performed to predict the effect of SNPs on miRNA stability and detect downstream pathways. Four SNPs were associated with LOAD risk with a p value < 0.01 (rs74704964 in hsa-miR-518d, rs71363366 in hsa-miR-1283-2, rs11983381 in hsa-miR-4653, and rs10934682 in hsa-miR-544b). In silico analyses support a possible functional effect of those SNPs in miRNA levels and in the regulation of pathways of relevance for the development of LOAD. Although the results are promising, additional studies are needed to validate the association between SNPs in miRNAs and the risk of developing LOAD. Graphical abstract.
