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

Apolipoprotein E (APOE), translocase of outer mitochondrial membrane 40 homolog (TOMM40) and apolipoprotein C-I (APOC1) may extend lifespan by marked delay or escape from age-related diseases. This study aimed to elucidate the association of human longevity with genetic variations in TOMM40/APOE/APOC1 region in a Chinese population. Ten tag single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the TOMM40/APOE/APOC1 region were successfully genotyped in 616 unrelated long-lived individuals and 846 younger controls. Of the 10 SNPs, rs7254892 in 5' upstream of TOMM40 showed significant association with human longevity (G/A-A/A vs G/G: odds ratio (OR)=1.59, 95% confidence interval (CI)=1.20-2.09, P=0.0011, Bonferroni corrected P (Pc)=0.033). The haplotype analysis suggested that individuals carrying the haplotype A-A-A-A-T-A-T-G-C-A (rs7254892-rs157580-rs2075649-rs2075650-rs157582-rs8106922-rs1160985-rs405697-rs439401-rs445925) tended to have longer lifespan than those carrying the most common haplotype G-G-A-A-C-A-C-A-T-G (OR=1.59, 95% CI=1.19-2.12, P=0.0018, Pc=0.0216). These findings indicated that variants in TOMM40/APOE/APOC1 region might be associated with human longevity. Further studies are needed to identify the causal genetic variants influencing human longevity.
