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

Psychosis occurs in approximately half of patients with Alzheimer disease (AD with psychosis, AD+P). AD+P patients have more rapid cognitive decline, greater behavioral symptoms, and higher mortality than do AD patients without psychosis. Studies in three independent cohorts have shown that psychosis in AD aggregates in families, with estimated heritability of 29.5 - 60.8%. These findings have motivated studies to investigate and uncover the genes responsible for the development of psychosis, with the ultimate goal of identifying potential biologic mechanisms that may serve as leads to specific therapies. Linkage analyses have implicated loci on chromosomes 2, 6, 7, 8, 15, and 21 with AD+P. Association studies of APOE do not support it as a risk gene for psychosis in AD. No other candidate genes, such as neurodegenerative and monoamine genes, show conclusive evidence of association with AD+P. However, a recent genome-side association study has produced some promising leads, including among them genes that have been associated with schizophrenia. This review summarizes the current knowledge of the genetic basis of AD+P.
