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

Antipsychotics can induce in schizophrenic (SZ) and bipolar disorder (BP) patients serious body weight changes that increase risk for noncompliance to medication, and risk for cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. A genetic origin for this susceptibility to weight changes has been hypothesized because only a proportion of treated patients are affected, the degree of affection differing also in rates and magnitudes. In a first genome scan on obesity under antipsychotics in SZ and BP, we analyzed 21 multigenerational kindreds (508 family members) including several patients treated for a minimum of 3 years mainly with haloperidol or chlopromazine. Obesity was defined from medical files and was shown to be 2.5 times more frequent in patients treated with antipsychotics than in untreated family members (30 vs 12%). The nine pedigrees that showed at least two occurrences of obesity under antipsychotics were submitted to model-based linkage analyses. We observed a suggestive linkage with a multipoint Lod score (MLS) of 2.74 at 12q24. This linkage finding vanished when we used as phenotypes, obesity unrelated to antipsychotics, and when we used SZ or BP. This suggests that this positive linkage result with obesity is specific to the use of antipsychotics. A potential candidate gene for this linkage is the pro-melanin-concentrating hormone (PMCH) gene located at less then 1 cM of the linkage. PMCH encodes a neuropeptide involved in the control of food intake, energy expenditure, and in anxiety/depression. This first genome scan targeting the obesity side effect of antipsychotics identified 12q24 as a susceptibility region.
