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

Despite advances, the roles of genetic variants from the APOE-harboring 19q13.32 region in Alzheimer's disease (AD) remain controversial. We leverage a comprehensive approach to gain insights into a more homogeneous genetic architecture of AD in this region. We use a sample of 2,673 AD-affected and 16,246 unaffected subjects from 4 studies and validate our main findings in the landmark Alzheimer's Disease Genetics Consortium cohort (3,662 AD-cases and 1,541 controls). We report the remarkably high excesses of the AD risk for carriers of the ε4 allele who also carry minor alleles of rs2075650 (TOMM40) and rs12721046 (APOC1) polymorphisms compared to carriers of their major alleles. The exceptionally high 4.37-fold (p=1.34 × 10
