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

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) and sleep disorders are both neurodegenerative conditions characterized by impaired or absent sleep. However, potential common pathogenetic mechanisms of these diseases are not well characterized. Methods: Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified using publicly available human gene expression profiles GSE5281 for AD and GSE40562 for sleep disorder. DEGs common to the two datasets were used for enrichment analysis, and we performed multi-scale embedded gene co-expression network analysis (MEGENA) for common DEGs. Fast gene set enrichment analysis (fGSEA) was used to obtain common pathways, while gene set variation analysis (GSVA) was applied to quantify those pathways. Subsequently, we extracted the common genes between module genes identified by MEGENA and genes of the common pathways, and we constructed protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks. The top 10 genes with the highest degree of connectivity were classified as hub genes. Common genes were used to perform Metascape enrichment analysis for functional enrichment. Furthermore, we quantified infiltrating immune cells in patients with AD or sleep disorder and in controls. Results: DEGs common to the two disorders were involved in the citrate cycle and the HIF-1 signaling pathway, and several common DEGs were related to signaling pathways regulating the pluripotency of stem cells, as well as 10 other pathways. Using MEGENA, we identified 29 modules and 1,498 module genes in GSE5281, and 55 modules and 1,791 module genes in GSE40562. Hub genes involved in AD and sleep disorder were ATP5A1, ATP5B, COX5A, GAPDH, NDUFA9, NDUFS3, NDUFV2, SOD1, UQCRC1, and UQCRC2. Plasmacytoid dendritic cells and T helper 17 cells had the most extensive infiltration in both AD and sleep disorder. Conclusion: AD pathology and pathways of neurodegeneration participate in processes contributing in AD and sleep disorder. Hub genes may be worth exploring as potential candidates for targeted therapy of AD and sleep disorder.
