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

Chromosome 22 has been implicated in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder in a number of linkage, association and cytogenetic studies. Recent evidence has also implicated CAG repeat tract expansion in these diseases. In order to explore the involvement of CAG repeats on chromosome 22 in these diseases, we have created an integrated map of all CAG repeats > or =5 on this chromosome together with microsatellite markers associated with these diseases using the recently completed nucleotide sequence of chromosome 22. Of the 52 CAG repeat loci identified in this manner, four of the longest repeat stretches in regions previously implicated by linkage analyses were chosen for further study. Three of the four repeat containing loci, were found in the coding region with the CAG repeats coding for glutamine and were expressed in the brain. All the loci studied showed varying degrees of polymorphism with one of the loci exhibiting two alleles of 7 and 8 CAG repeats. The 8-repeat allele at this locus was significantly overrepresented in both schizophrenia and bipolar patient groups when compared to ethnically matched controls, while alleles at the other three loci did not show any such difference. The repeat lies within a gene which shows homology to an androgen receptor related apoptosis protein in rat. We have also identified other candidate genes in the vicinity of this locus. Our results suggest that the repeats within this gene or other genes in the vicinity of this locus are likely to be implicated in bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.
