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

backgroundA genetic syndrome associated with schizophrenia, 22q11 deletion syndrome (22qDS), may represent a genetic subtype of schizophrenia (22qDS-Sz). Structural brain changes are common in schizophrenia and may involve developmental anomalies, but there are no data yet for 22qDS-Sz. The objective of this study was to assess brain structure in adults with 22qDS-Sz using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

methodsBrain and arterial MRI scans of 11 adults with 22qDS-Sz (mean age = 28.4 years, SD = 6.5) were systematically assessed by a neuroradiologist for qualitative anomalies.

resultsA high frequency of abnormalities were found: T2 white matter bright foci (BF), 90%; developmental midline anomalies, 45%; cerebral atrophy or ventricular enlargement, 54%; mild cerebellar atrophy, 36%; skull base abnormalities, 55%; and minor vascular abnormalities, 36%.

conclusionsBF and skull base abnormalities, especially in association with neurodevelopmental midline abnormalities, may be distinguishing MRI features for a genetic subtype of schizophrenia involving a deletion on chromosome 22.
