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 disease (AD) is the fourth major cause of death in the elderly following cancer, heart disease and cerebrovascular disease. Finding candidate causal genes can help in the design of Gene targeted drugs and effectively reduce the risk of the disease. Complex diseases such as AD are usually caused by multiple genes. The Genome-wide association study (GWAS), has identified the potential genetic variants for most diseases. However, because of linkage disequilibrium (LD), it is difficult to identify the causative mutations that directly cause diseases. In this study, we combined expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) studies with the GWAS, to comprehensively define the genes that cause Alzheimer disease. The method used was the Summary Mendelian randomization (SMR), which is a novel method to integrate summarized data. Two GWAS studies and five eQTL studies were referenced in this paper. We found several candidate SNPs that have a strong relationship with AD. Most of these SNPs overlap in different data sets, providing relatively strong reliability. We also explain the function of the novel AD-related genes we have discovered.
