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

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease. Relationships of 5HT2A and 5HTTLPR polymorphisms and AD risk have been widely investigated previously, whereas results derived from these studies were inconclusive and controversial. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of the 5-HT2A and 5HTTLPR polymorphisms and AD using a meta-analysis of existing literatures. Studies were collected using PubMed, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library databases, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and Embase. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to assess associations. As a result, a total of 7 publications for 5-HT2A T102C and 16 publications for 5HTTLPR (L/S) comprised 3255 cases and 3690 controls fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Significant association was covered between allelic and recessive models of 5-HT2A T102C and AD (allelic model:
