Genome-wide transcriptome analysis of Aβ deposition on PET in a Korean cohort.
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 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
introductionDespite the recognized importance of including ethnic diversity in Alzheimer's disease (AD) research, substantial knowledge gaps remain, particularly in Asian populations.
methodsRNA sequencing was performed on blood samples from the Korean Brain Aging Study for the Early Diagnosis and Prediction of Alzheimer's Disease (KBASE) to perform differential gene expression (DGE), gene co-expression network, gene-set enrichment, and machine learning analyses for amyloid beta (Aβ) deposition on positron emission tomography.
resultsDGE analysis identified 265 dysregulated genes associated with Aβ deposition and replicated three AD-associated genes in an independent Korean cohort. Network analysis identified two modules related to pathways including a natural killer (NK) cell-mediated immunity. Machine learning analysis showed the classification of Aβ positivity improved with the inclusion of gene expression data. DISCUSSION: Our results in a Korean population suggest Aβ deposition-associated genes are enriched in NK cell-mediated immunity, providing a better understanding of AD molecular mechanisms and yielding potential diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. HIGHLIGHTS: Dysregulated genes were associated with amyloid beta (Aβ) deposition on positron emission tomography in a Korean cohort. Dysregulated genes in Alzheimer's disease were replicated in an independent Korean cohort. Gene network modules were associated with Aβ deposition. Natural killer (NK) cell proportion in blood was associated with Aβ deposition. Dysregulated genes were related to a NK cell-mediated immunity.
