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

Ischemic stroke (IS) and Parkinson's disease (PD) are two neurological diseases that often strike individuals of advanced age. Although thought of as a disease of old age, PD can occur in younger patients. In many of these cases, genetic mutations underlie the disease. As with PD, stroke can also have a genetic component. Although many of the risk factors for IS are considered to be modifiable, a significant portion is not, suggesting that some of stroke risk factors may have a genetic origin. Large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified several IS and PD gene variants recently. Converging epidemiologic and pathological evidence suggests that IS and PD may be linked. However, it is still unclear whether these two conditions share a common mechanism. Here, we sought to determine the genetic mechanism underlying the possible association between IS and PD. We conducted a multi-step systemic analysis comprising (1) identification of IS and PD variants validated by known GWAS, (2) two separate gene-based tests using Versatile Gene-based Association Study 2 (VEGAS2) and PLINK, (3) a transcriptome-wide association study (TWAS), and (4) analyses of gene expression using an online tool in Gene Expression Omnibus. Our investigation revealed that IS and PD have in common five shared genes:
