AI-enabled evaluation of genome-wide association relevance and polygenic risk score prediction in Alzheimer's disease.
Article in iScience, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
GWAS focuses on significance loosing false positives; machine learning probes sub-significant features relying on predictivity. Yet, these are far from orthogonal. We sought to explore how these inform each other in sub-genome-wide significant situations to define relevance for predictive features. We introduce the SVM-based RubricOE that selects heavily cross-validated feature sets, and LDpred2 PRS as a strong contrast to SVM, to explore significance and predictivity. Our Alzheimer's test case notoriously lacks strong genetic signals except for few very strong phenotype-SNP associations, which suits the problem we are exploring. We found that the most significant SNPs among ML and PRS-selected SNPs captured most of the predictivity, while weaker associations tend also to contribute weakly to predictivity. SNPs with weak associations tend not to contribute to predictivity, but deletion of these features does not injure it. Significance provides a ranking that helps identify weakly predictive features.
