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

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most prevalent form of dementia. While many AD-associated genetic determinants have been previously identified, few studies have analyzed individuals of non-European ancestry. Here, we describe a multi-ancestry genome-wide association study of clinically-diagnosed AD and AD-by-proxy using whole genome sequencing data from NIAGADS, NIMH, UKB, and All of Us (AoU) consisting of 49,149 cases (12,074 clinically-diagnosed and 37,075 AD-by-proxy) and 383,225 controls. Nearly half of NIAGADS and AoU participants are of non-European ancestry. For clinically-diagnosed AD, we identified 14 new loci - five common (FBN2,/SCL27A6, AC090115.1, DYM, KCNG1/AL121785.1, TIAM1) and nine rare (VWA5B1, RNU6-755P/LMX1A, MOB1A, MORC1-AS1, LINC00989, PDE4D, RNU2-49P/CDO1, NEO1, and SLC35G3/AC022916.1). Meta-analysis of UKB and AoU AD-by-proxy cases yielded two new rare loci (RPL23/LASP1 and CEBPA/ AC008738.6) which were also nominally significant in NIAGADS. In summary, we provide evidence for 16 novel AD loci and advocate for more studies using WGS-based GWAS of diverse cohorts.
