Interaction analysis of ancestry-enriched variants with APOE-ɛ4 on MCI in the Study of Latinos-Investigation of Neurocognitive Aging.
Article in Scientific reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
APOE-ɛ4 risk on Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's Disease (AD) differs between race/ethnic groups, presumably due to ancestral genomic background surrounding the APOE locus. We studied whether African and Amerindian ancestry-enriched genetic variants in the APOE region modify the effect of the APOE-ɛ4 alleles on Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) in Hispanics/Latinos. We defined African and Amerindian ancestry-enriched variants as those common in one Hispanic/Latino parental ancestry and rare in the other two. We identified such variants in the APOE region with a predicted moderate impact based on the SnpEff tool. We tested their interaction with APOE-ɛ4 on MCI in the Study of Latinos-Investigation of Neurocognitive Aging (SOL-INCA) population and African Americans from the Atherosclerosis Risk In Communities (ARIC) study. We identified 5 Amerindian and 14 African enriched variants with an expected moderate effect. A suggestive significant interaction (p-value = 0.01) was found for one African-enriched variant, rs8112679, located in the ZNF222 gene fourth exon. Our results suggest there are no ancestry-enriched variants with large effect sizes of interaction effects with APOE-ɛ4 on MCI in the APOE region in the Hispanic/Latino population. Further studies are needed in larger datasets to identify potential interactions with smaller effect sizes.
