Association study of the PLXNA4 gene with the risk of Alzheimer's disease.
Article in Annals of translational medicine, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundThe Plexin-A 4 (PLXNA4) gene has recently been recognized as a functional candidate gene of late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD). The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs13232207 of PLXNA4 gene has been reported to be associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) in Japanese cohorts. We sought to clarify whether this novel locus gains the same effect in northern Han Chinese.
methodsTo investigate the relationship between SNP rs13232207 and AD sufferers, a case-control study of unrelated individuals was conducted with a total sample size of 2,318 subjects (978 cases and 1,340 age and gender matched healthy controls) in a Northern Han Chinese population. SPSS 22.0 was applied for the statistical process.
resultsNo significant difference in polymorphic distribution of rs13232207 was observed on LOAD risk independently under dominant (P=0.057), additive (P=0.233) or recessive model (P=0.392). In terms of interaction with apolipoprotein E (APOE), there is also no positive interaction in dominant (P=0.438), additive (P=0.055) or recessive model (P=0.095).
conclusionsReplication of association between the PLXNA4 rs13232207 and AD in a Han ethnic group indicates that this link is not the result of chance.
