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

Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), a cytokine involved in peripheral inflammation, has been shown to modulate established Alzheimer's disease (AD) loci. In this study, we hypothesized that blood MCP-1 levels may impact the associations of other genetic variants with AD risk beyond the well-established AD loci. We performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) using logistic regression with the generalized estimating equation (GEE) and Cox proportional hazards models to examine the combined effects of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and blood MCP-1 levels on AD. Three datasets were used: the Framingham Heart Study (FHS), Religious Orders Study/Memory and Aging Project (ROSMAP), and Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI). We identified SNPs in two genes in the meta-analysis, namely, neuron navigator 3 (NAV3, also named unc-53 homolog 3, rs696468) (p < 7.55 × 10
