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

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a widespread neurodegenerative disorder among the elderly, characterized by dementia. The development of AD is significantly influenced by genetic risk factors. Methods: in this study, we have investigated the impact of rs2234759 and rs12507396 polymorphisms in the neuropeptide Y receptor Y2 (NPY2R) gene on AD. Nineteen AD patients and nineteen healthy controls were enlisted in our research. and the DNA samples of all participants were genotyped using amplification refractory mutation system-polymerase chain reaction (ARMS-PCR). Results: The results revealed a noteworthy association between rs2234759 and AD, with a noticeable difference observed in the frequency of genotypes and alleles of this polymorphism between patients and healthy controls (P< 0.001 for both). However, no significant difference was detected in the genotype distribution concerning the rs12507396 polymorphism between the two groups. Conclusions: Our findings provide compelling evidence of an association between the rs2234759 polymorphism in NPY2R and Alzheimer's disease. Given the significant role of NPY2R in brain tissue, this particular polymorphism may result in strengthened presynaptic inhibition of glutamate release.
