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

introductionThe genetic basis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) in Koreans is poorly understood.

methodsWe performed an AD genome-wide association study using whole-genome sequence data from 3540 Koreans (1583 AD cases, 1957 controls) and single-nucleotide polymorphism array data from 2978 Japanese (1336 AD cases, 1642 controls). Significant findings were evaluated by pathway enrichment and differential gene expression analysis in brain tissue from controls and AD cases with and without dementia prior to death.

resultsWe identified genome-wide significant associations with APOE in the total sample and ROCK2 (rs76484417, p = 2.71×10 DISCUSSION: Our results provide insight into genetic mechanisms leading to AD and cognitive resilience in East Asians. HIGHLIGHTS: Novel genome-wide significant associations for AD identified with ROCK2 and MICALL1. ROCK2 and MICALL1 are differentially expressed between AD cases and controls in the brain. This is the largest whole-genome-sequence study of AD in an East Asian population.
