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

Genes involved in the regulation of synaptic vesicle function are potential candidates for the development of psychiatric disorders. In addition to experimental and theoretical considerations, a number of genes involved in synaptic vesicle function map to regions of the genome that have been linked to bipolar disorder (BPD) and schizophrenia (SZ). One is synaptojanin 1 (SYNJ1) which maps to 21q22.2, a chromosomal region that has been linked to BPD in a subset of families in several studies. Synaptojanin 1 is an inositol 5-phosphatase that has an important role in synaptic vesicle endocytosis. Mutation screening of 32 exons, intron--exon junctions, and 839 bases of 5'-flanking DNA resulted in the identification of 11 mutations of which four were very common and seven were very rare. Of the 11 mutations identified, several may have functional significance including two coding variants, two that may affect the binding of a transcription factor, and two that involve known splicing regulatory domains. Five bipolar patients out of 149 analyzed were found who have one of the four rare variants that were most likely to have functional significance compared with 0/148 controls. The allele frequencies for three of the four common variants were very similar in bipolar patients and controls. A slight difference in allele frequency was found for an interesting mutation we detected in intron 12 in which two non-adjacent thymidine residues are deleted in a poly-AT tract located near the exon 12 splice donor site (chi(2) = 2.45, P = 0.12, 2-tailed). Although we failed to unequivocally identify a specific SYNJ1 allele that could be responsible for putative chromosome 21q22-linked BPD, several interesting variants were found to be increased in bipolar subjects and should be further investigated.
