Sex and APOE ε4 genotype modify risk factor associations with cerebral amyloid angiopathy: a multi-cohort autopsy study.
Article in Alzheimer's research & therapy, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThis study aimed to identify risk factors and develop statistical models to predict cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA).
methodsAssociations between demographic, cognition, cardiovascular, and AD-related neuropathology and CAA were analyzed using data from three longitudinal cohorts of aging and dementia. Logistic regression with LASSO was used for feature selection. Predictive performance was assessed using ROC-AUC and decision curve analysis (DCA). Predictor importance was quantified using Shapley Variable Importance Cloud (ShapleyVIC), which provides a robust estimate of individual feature contribution in prediction.
resultsStratified analyses showed that the strength of association between episodic memory or tau pathology and CAA was greater in males, while the amyloid pathology-CAA association was stronger in females. Among APOE ε4 carriers, the amyloid/tau pathology-CAA associations were pronounced. Episodic memory and amyloid/tau pathology were identified as key factors in our predictive model. DCA demonstrated the model’s clinical utility, and SHAP values confirmed the importance of individual features.
conclusionWe identified sex- and APOE-specific risk factors for CAA and developed models to support CAA risk stratification.
