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

Single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNAseq) allows for the dissection of cell type-specific transcriptional profiles. We evaluated differential gene expression using snRNAseq data generated from hippocampal region tissue donated by 11 Boston University Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (BU-ADRC) participants with neuropathologically confirmed Alzheimer's disease (AD) with or without co-existing pathology (AD only = 3, AD+vascular disease (Vas) = 6, AD+Lewy body disease (LBD) = 2). Expression of 19,893 genes was compared between AD+Vas and other AD groups for each cell type. Co-expression modules were identified in a set of 174 bulk RNAseq hippocampal samples from BU-ADRC. Modules enriched in differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified using Fisher's exact tests. The overlap between DEGs and co-expression modules was incorporated into quantitative gene set analysis. AD+Vas subjects showed decreased expression of genes related to immune activation in microglia (t = -2.67, p = 2.72 × 10
