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

introductionApolipoprotein E4 (apoE4) is the predominant risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD), but the question of which structural differences might explain its effect remains unclear.

methodsWe compared high-density lipoprotein-like apoE particles from 12 AD and 10 control patients using size-exclusion chromatography.

resultsApoE particles from patients genotyped as ε4/ε4 were 2.2 ± 0.3 times as massive as particles from ε3/ε3 control subjects and 1.4 ± 0.1 times as massive as particles from ε3/ε3 AD patients. The increased particle size was not because of incorporation of amyloid β or apoE proteolysis products. Particles from AD patients genotyped as ε3/ε3 were 1.59 ± 0.27 times as massive as ε3/ε3 control subjects. DISCUSSION: Increased particle size in AD is affected by
