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

In our studies apolipoprotein E4 (APOE4) is associated with both early- and late-onset Alzheimer's disease. Alzheimer's patients from West Texas were screened for the APOE4 allele, which was found at frequencies of 0.43 and 0.59 in familial late- and early-onset cases. Sporadic cases had lower frequencies, but they still were 2-4 times higher than control spouses. To determine whether the APOE association may be a risk factor for coronary disease as well, we examined two APOB gene restriction sites that have previously been found to be associated with coronary artery disease, especially myocardial infarctions. The APOB alleles were found at similar frequencies in Alzheimer's patients and control spouses.
