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

Imaging genetics combines neuroimaging and genetics to assess the relationships between genetic variants and changes in brain structure and metabolism. Sparse canonical correlation analysis (SCCA) models are well-known tools for identifying meaningful biomarkers in imaging genetics. However, most SCCA models incorporate only diagnostic status information, which poses challenges for finding disease-specific biomarkers. In this study, we proposed a multi-task sparse canonical correlation analysis and regression (MT-SCCAR) model to reveal disease-specific associations between single nucleotide polymorphisms and quantitative traits derived from multi-modal neuroimaging data in the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) cohort. MT-SCCAR uses complementary information carried by multiple-perspective cognitive scores and encourages group sparsity on genetic variants. In contrast with two other multi-modal SCCA models, MT-SCCAR embedded more accurate neuropsychological assessment information through linear regression and enhanced the correlation coefficients, leading to increased identification of high-risk brain regions. Furthermore, MT-SCCAR identified primary genetic risk factors for Alzheimer's disease (AD), including rs429358, and found some association patterns between genetic variants and brain regions. Thus, MT-SCCAR contributes to deciphering genetic risk factors of brain structural and metabolic changes by identifying potential risk biomarkers.
