A Lipoylation-PDH-TCA Transcriptional Deficit in the Alzheimer's Disease Cortex - Donor-level Multi-cohort Evidence with Neuronal-composition, Disease-specificity and Matched-null Controls.

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
Cuproptosis, a copper-dependent form of regulated cell death acting through lipoylated tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle proteins, has been proposed as a molecular link between type 2 diabetes and Alzheimer's disease. We asked whether cuproptosis effector genes are dysregulated in a cell-type-specific manner in the human Alzheimer's disease cortex, and whether any such signal survives controls for neuronal composition and disease specificity. Single-nucleus data from 21 prefrontal cortex donors were aggregated to donor-level pseudobulk within each cell type. Four independent bulk cohorts, each contributing one observation per donor, entered a random-effects meta-analysis. Adjustment for estimated neuronal content, competitive and expression-matched null gene-set testing, and comparison against Huntington's disease and vascular dementia were applied as controls. The donor was the unit of replication throughout. No gene-cell-type pair survived correction across the 75 prespecified tests; PDHA1 in inhibitory neurons showed the largest nominal reduction (- 0.418, q = 0.829). In donor-level meta-analysis PDHA1 was lower in Alzheimer's disease in all four cohorts (- 0.457, 95% CI - 0.712 to - 0.201, I
