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

The β-site amyloid precursor protein-cleaving enzyme 1 (BACE1) gene polymorphism (rs638405) has been widely reported to be associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk. However, studies on the relationship between BACE1 gene polymorphism (rs638405), brain volume, and cognition in AD patients remain scarce. To investigate the effect of genetic polymorphism in BACE1 on gray matter volume (GMV) and cognition in AD, this study recruited 111 cognitively unimpaired (CU) controls and 144 AD patients. The effect of BACE1 rs638405 polymorphism on cognition was explored in CU and AD groups. Then the interaction effect of the diagnosis and BACE1 rs638405 polymorphism on GMV was performed, following the post-hoc analysis of regions of interest (ROIs) in interaction analysis. Mediation analysis was used to elucidate the relationship among genotypes, ROIs and cognition. BACE1 rs638405 G carriers (BACE1 G+) showed significantly lower scores in global cognition and memory function than noncarriers (BACE1 G-) in AD group. Genotypes (G+/G-) and diagnosis (CU/AD) have interaction on GMV of medial temporal lobe (MTL) including the left parahippocampus and right hippocampus. Post-hoc analysis revealed that BACE1 G+ exhibited significantly lower GMV in ROIs compared to BACE1 G- in AD. Finally, mediation analysis further demonstrated that the GMV of ROIs mediated the effect of BACE1 rs638405 polymorphism on cognition in AD. Our results emphasize the BACE1 rs638405 gene polymorphisms may affect the GMV of MTL and cognition in AD, deepening the understanding of AD pathogenesis.
