Investigating the Relationships Between Neurodegenerative Diseases and Cancer Types: A Computational Approach.
Article in Current Alzheimer research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
introductionPrevious studies have shown a correlation between neurodegenerative diseases and cancers. However, the biological processes for these diseases are not completely known, and the genetic factors for their onset are not defined. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis study reports the genetic relationships of different neurodegenerative diseases, such as Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Alzheimer's Disease (AD), and Parkinson's disease (PD) and cancer types (squamous cell lung carcinoma, esophageal adenocarcinoma, and colorectal cancer), with other human traits, based on cross-trait Linkage Disequilibrium Score regression (LDSC). We then applied a clumping approach to select candidate genes for each disease, and via an miRNA analysis, we identified miRNAs that could regulate those genes.
resultsLDSC revealed an inverse association of human traits with neurodegenerative diseases and cancer. Indeed, the cancer types studied were positively correlated with "Body Mass Index (BMI)," while AD, PD, and MS showed a negative correlation. miR-1-3p, miR-34a-5p, and miR-27a-3p were revealed as common biomarkers among the different pathological conditions.
conclusionThe present study suggests novel genetic associations between neurological diseases, cancer types and new targets to explain the genetic sharing between the diseases.
