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: Olfactory dysfunction (OD) is associated with neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's disease (AD). Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV1) may increase AD risk, but longitudinal changes in olfaction related to HSV1 carriage and apolipoprotein ε4 ( Objective: To investigate if OD is associated with carriage of HSV1, and whether Methods: From a large population-based cohort study in northern Sweden (Betula study), 1288 individuals with a baseline odor identification assessment were included, with follow-up assessment (n = 950) after five or ten years. Odor sensitivity (odor threshold test) was tested at a single time point for 651 individuals. HSV1 carriership and apolipoprotein E genotype were established for all participants. Results: Weighted linear mixed-model analyses showed that carriage of HSV1, regardless of Conclusions: HSV1 did not associate with OD in this population-based cohort study with 5-10 years of follow-up, where olfaction was measured and analyzed using two different objective measurements. The association between OD and neurodegenerative diseases needs further investigation.
