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

Accumulating evidence demonstrated that GABAergic dysfunction contributes to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The GABA aminotransferase (ABAT) gene encodes a mitochondrial GABA transaminase and plays key roles in the biogenesis and metabolism of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), which is a major inhibitory neurotransmitter. In this study, we performed an integrative study at the genetic and expression levels to investigate the potential genetic association between the ABAT gene and AD. Through re-analyzing data from the currently largest meta-analysis of AD genome-wide association study (GWAS), we identified genetic variants in the 3'-UTR of ABAT as the top AD-associated SNPs (P < 1 × 10
