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

backgroundAlzheimer's disease (AD) is a complex disease influenced by the environment and genetics; however, much of the genetic component remains unaccounted for.

objectiveThe purpose of this work was to use genome-wide association analyses to detect genetic associations with incident AD in a sample of older adults aged 75 and above.

methodsWe performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) on genome-wide genotyped and imputed data (14,072,053 variants) on the Gingko Evaluation of Memory (GEM) study sample consisting of 424 incident dementia (mean age = 84.46±3.91) and 2,206 non-demented (mean age = 84.55±3.23) subjects.

resultsThe established association of APOE*4 carriers with AD was confirmed in this community-based sample of older subjects (odds ratio (OR) = 2.22; p = 9.36E-14) and was stronger in females (OR = 2.72; p = 1.74E-10) than in males (OR = 1.88; p = 2.43E-05). We observed a novel genome-wide significant (GWS) locus on chromosome 12 near ncRNA LOC105369711/rs148377161 (OR = 3.31; p = 1.66E-08). In addition, sex-stratified analyses identified two novel associations in males: one near ncRNA LOC729987/rs140076909 on chromosome 1 (OR = 4.51; p = 3.72E-08) and the other approaching GWS near ncRNA LOC105375138/rs117803234 on chromosome 7 (OR = 3.76; p = 6.93E-08).

conclusionThe use of community-based samples of older individuals and incident dementia as a phenotype may be a helpful approach for the identification of novel genes for AD, which may not be detected in standard case-control studies. Replication of these signals and further studies of these regions and genes will help to provide a clearer picture for their role in AD.
