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

Schizophrenia is a severe mental disorder affecting approximately 1% of the world's population. Here, we report the results from a three-stage genomewide screen performed in a study sample from an internal isolate of Finland. An effort was made to identify genes predisposing for schizophrenia that are potentially enriched in this isolate, which has an exceptionally high lifetime risk for this trait. Ancestors of the local families with schizophrenia were traced back to the foundation of the population in the 17th century. This genealogical information was used as the basis for the study strategy, which involved screening for alleles shared among affected individuals originating from common ancestors. We found four chromosomal regions with markers revealing pairwise LOD scores>1.0: 1q32.2-q41 (Z(max)=3.82, dominant affecteds-only model), 4q31 (Z(max)=2. 74, dominant 90%-penetrance model), 9q21 (Z(max)=1.95, dominant 90%-penetrance model), and Xp11.4-p11.3 (Z(max)=2.01, recessive 90%-penetrance model). This finding suggests that there are several putative loci predisposing to schizophrenia, even in this isolate.
