APOE ε4 allele drives female-specific Alzheimer's disease progression via vascular dysfunction and tau spreading.
Article in Frontiers in neuroscience, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: Apolipoprotein E (APOE) epsilon4 (ε4) is a major genetic risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD), with women exhibiting heightened vulnerability to APOE ε4-associated cognitive impairment. Despite recognition of this sexual dimorphism, the underlying biological mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Methods: We performed weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) on RNA-seq data from the Mayo Clinic cohort ( Results: Four co-expression modules ( Conclusion: we reveal a female-specific APOE ε4-driven molecular network linking endothelial dysfunction to tau pathology. These hub genes provide potential biomarkers, while vincamine represents a targeted prevention and therapeutic candidate for high-risk APOE ε4-positive women.
