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

backgroundSeveral genome-wide association studies have found that the rs11136000 polymorphism of the C allele (CLU-C) is associated with the risk for developing late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD). However, the effects of the CLU-C/C genotype on brain structure, including gray and white matter, are not adequately understood.

objectivesWe aimed to clarify the gray matter and white matter integrity changes in non-demented ageing individuals with the AD risk gene of the rs11136000 polymorphism of the C allele (CLU-C) and the correlation with cognitive performance.

methodsVoxel-based analysis was used to compare the differences in high-resolution structural T1 and diffusion tensor imaging data between 31 CLU-C/C and 15 non-CLU-C/C carriers in nondemented older adults.

resultsCompared to non-CLU-C/C carriers, CLU-C homozygotes showed a reduced gray matter concentration (GMC) in the left parahippocampal gyrus, right middle frontal and temporal middle gyri, increased GMC in the left middle frontal and right fusiform gyri and increased gray matter volume (GMV) in the left middle frontal gyrus (P < 0.001). Decreased fractional anisotropy (FA) in the sub-gyral white matter of the left external capsule and left anterior cingulate and increased FA in the sub-gyral white matter of the left temporal lobe were also found in CLU-C/C genotype carriers. Moreover, the FA value in the left external capsule correlated with several cognitive measures.

conclusionOur findings provide further evidence for the CLU risk variant as a candidate gene for AD and may serve as a pre-clinical neuroimaging phenotype of late-onset AD.
