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

A deeper understanding of the molecular processes underlying late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD) could aid in biomarker and drug target discovery. Using high-throughput serum proteomics in the prospective population-based Age, Gene/Environment Susceptibility-Reykjavik Study (AGES) cohort of 5,127 older Icelandic adults (mean age, 76.6 ± 5.6 years), we identified 303 proteins associated with incident LOAD over a median follow-up of 12.8 years. Over 40% of these proteins were associated with LOAD independently of APOE-ε4 carrier status, were implicated in neuronal processes and overlapped with LOAD protein signatures in brain and cerebrospinal fluid. We identified 17 proteins whose associations with LOAD were strongly dependent on APOE-ε4 carrier status, with mostly consistent associations in cerebrospinal fluid. Remarkably, four of these proteins (TBCA, ARL2, S100A13 and IRF6) were downregulated by APOE-ε4 yet upregulated due to LOAD, a finding replicated in external cohorts and possibly reflecting a response to disease onset. These findings highlight dysregulated pathways at the preclinical stages of LOAD, including those both independent of and dependent on APOE-ε4 status.
