An association test of the spatial distribution of rare missense variants within protein structures identifies Alzheimer's disease-related patterns.

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
More than 90% of genetic variants are rare in most modern sequencing studies, such as the Alzheimer's Disease Sequencing Project (ADSP) whole-exome sequencing (WES) data. Furthermore, 54% of the rare variants in ADSP WES are singletons. However, both single variant and unit-based tests are limited in their statistical power to detect an association between rare variants and phenotypes. To best use missense rare variants and investigate their biological effect, we examine their association with phenotypes in the context of protein structures. We developed a protein structure-based approach, protein optimized kernel evaluation of missense nucleotides (POKEMON), which evaluates rare missense variants based on their spatial distribution within a protein rather than their allele frequency. The hypothesis behind this test is that the three-dimensional spatial distribution of variants within a protein structure provides functional context to power an association test. POKEMON identified three candidate genes (
