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

backgroundNeuropathological changes of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Parkinson's disease (PD) can coexist in the same sample, suggesting possible common degenerative mechanisms.

objectiveThe objective of this study was to use RNA-sequencing to compare gene expression in AD and PD vulnerable brain regions and search for co-expressed genes.

methodsTotal RNA was isolated from AD/CTL frontal cortex and PD/CTL ventral midbrain. Sequencing libraries were prepared, multiplex paired-end RNA sequencing was carried out, and bioinformatics analyses of gene expression used both publicly available (tophat2/bowtie2/Cufflinks) and commercial (Qlucore Omics Explorer) algorithms.

resultsBoth AD (frontal cortex,

conclusionsAD and PD in vulnerable brain regions appear to arise from and result in independent molecular genetic abnormalities, but we identified several under-expressed genes with potential to treat both diseases. NAD supplementation shows particular promise.
