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

Copper dyshomeostasis leading to a labile Cu(2+) not bound to ceruloplasmin ("free" copper) may influence Alzheimer's disease (AD) onset or progression. To investigate this hypothesis, we investigated ATP7B, the gene that controls copper excretion through the bile and concentrations of free copper in systemic circulation. Our study analyzed informative ATP7B single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in a case-control population (n=515). In particular, we evaluated the genetic structure of the ATP7B gene using the HapMap database and carried out a genetic association investigation. Linkage disequilibrium (LD) analysis highlighted that our informative SNPs and their LD SNPs covered 96% of the ATP7B gene sequence, distinguishing two "strong LD" blocks. The first LD block contains the gene region encoding for transmembrane and copper-binding, whereas the second LD block encodes for copper-binding domains. The genetic association analysis showed significant results after multiple testing correction for all investigated variants (rs1801243, odds ratio [OR]=1.52, 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.10-2.09, p=0.010; rs2147363, OR=1.58, 95% CI=1.11-2.25, p=0.010; rs1061472, OR=1.73, 95% CI=1.23-2.43, p=0.002; rs732774, OR=2.31, 95% CI=1.41-3.77, p<0.001), indicating that SNPs in transmembrane domains may have a stronger association with AD risk than variants in copper-binding domains. Our study provides novel insights that confirm the role of ATP7B as a potential genetic risk factor for AD. The analysis of ATP7B informative SNPs confirms our previous hypothesis about the absence of ATP7B in the significant loci of genome-wide association studies of AD and the genetic association study suggests that transmembrane and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) domains in the ATP7B gene may harbor variants/haplotypes associated with AD risk.
