Peripheral Immune Profiles in Individuals at Genetic Risk of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Alzheimer's Disease.

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
The immune system plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases. Here, we explored whether blood immune cell profiles are already altered in healthy individuals with a genetic predisposition to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or Alzheimer's disease (AD). Using multicolor flow cytometry, we analyzed 92 immune cell phenotypes in the blood of 448 healthy participants from the Berlin Aging Study II. We calculated polygenic risk scores (PGSs) using genome-wide significant SNPs from recent large genome-wide association studies on ALS and AD. Linear regression analyses were then performed of the immune cell types on the PGSs in both the overall sample and a subgroup of older participants (>60 years). While we did not find any significant associations between immune cell subtypes and ALS and AD PGSs when controlling for the false discovery rate (FDR = 0.05), we observed several nominally significant results (
