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

Patients with schizophrenia (n=11) and bipolar affective disorder (n=17) from the relatively isolated population of the Faroe Islands were genotyped for 34 polymorphic markers on chromosome 4 in a search for allelic association and haplotype sharing among distantly related patients. When considering bipolar patients only, there was no clearcut support for any region on chromosome 4. The two-marker segment D4S394-D4S2983 at 4p16.1 was, however, supported by a P-value of 0.0162. For patients with schizophrenia, there was reasonable support for 4p16.1 as marker D4S2281 (P=0.0019), a two-marker segment (D4S2281-D4S1605, P=0.0009) and a three-marker segment (D4S2923-D4S2928-D4S1582, P-0.0005) appeared to be associated with schizophrenia, with some alleles/haplotypes occurring with different frequencies in patients compared to controls. When combining both psychiatric disorders, chromosome 4p16.1 received further support from five partially overlapping two- and three-marker segments (D4S394-D4S2983, P=0.0039; D4S2281-D4S1605, P=0.0027 and D4S394-D4S2983-D4S2923, P=0.006; D4S2923-D4S2928-D4S1582, P=0.00007; D4S1582-D4S1599-D4S2281, P=0.005). Increased haplotype sharing in patients with schizophrenia and in the combined data set was partly supported by Fisher's exact test and tests based on the genealogy. Our study yields support for a common risk gene for schizophrenia and bipolar affective disorder on the short arm of chromosome 4, as suggested by previous findings in the neighbouring Scottish population.
