Epigenomic features related to microglia are associated with attenuated effect of APOE ε4 on Alzheimer's disease risk in humans.

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.
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
Not all apolipoprotein E (APOE) ε4 carriers who survive to advanced age develop Alzheimer's disease (AD); factors attenuating the risk of ε4 on AD may exist. Guided by the top ε4-attenuating signals from methylome-wide association analyses (N = 572, ε4+ and ε4-) of neurofibrillary tangles and neuritic plaques, we conducted a meta-analysis for pathological AD within the ε4+ subgroups (N = 235) across four independent collections of brains. Cortical RNA-seq and microglial morphology measurements were used in functional analyses. Three out of the four significant CpG dinucleotides were captured by one principal component (PC1), which interacts with ε4 on AD, and is associated with expression of innate immune genes and activated microglia. In ε4 carriers, reduction in each unit of PC1 attenuated the odds of AD by 58% (odds ratio = 2.39, 95% confidence interval = [1.64,3.46], P = 7.08 × 10
