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

introductionAlzheimer's disease (AD) is a heterogeneous disease with diverse disease progression trajectories and brain pathology. Identifying AD subtypes is essential for understanding AD etiology, heterogeneity, and developing precise treatment.

methodsWe applied a subspace-merging algorithm to integrate multi-omics data from brain tissues of three large AD cohorts and identify data-driven AD subtypes. Within each cohort, we performed multiple analyses to characterize subtype-specific biology. A Phenome-wide Association Study (PheWAS) of expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) targeting differentially expressed genes (DEGs) was conducted to link molecular differences to disease phenotypes.

resultsWe identified AD subtypes that differed in cognitive and pathological phenotypes in three cohorts. Further analyses highlighted synaptic and neurotransmission pathways, and the PheWAS revealed significant associations with disease phenotypes. DISCUSSION: Our developed integration algorithm successfully merged different data modalities into a common subspace for patient clustering and identified data-driven subtypes. The identified transcriptomic signatures provide valuable insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying AD heterogeneity, paving the way for personalized AD treatment.
