KLOTHO KL-VS heterozygosity is associated with diminished age-related neuroinflammation, neurodegeneration, and synaptic dysfunction in older cognitively unimpaired adults.
Article in Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

In age-stratified analyses, KL-VS DISCUSSION: Higher levels of neuroinflammation, neurodegeneration, and synaptic dysfunction in older adults were attenuated in KL-VS HIGHLIGHTS: Older age was associated with poorer profiles across all cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers of neuroinflammation, neurodegeneration, and synaptic dysfunction. KLOTHO KL-VS non-carriers exhibit this same pattern, which is does not significantly differ between younger and older KL-VS heterozygotes for interleukin-6, S100 calcium-binding protein B, neurogranin, and total α-synuclein. Although age-related differences in glial fibrillary acidic protein, triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells, and chitinase-3-like protein 1 are evident for both KL-VS groups, the magnitude of the effect is markedly stronger for KL-VS non-carriers. Higher levels of neuroinflammation, neurodegeneration, and synaptic dysfunction in older adults are attenuated in KL-VS heterozygotes.
