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

Polymorphisms of the gene encoding the regulator of G-protein signaling subtype 4 (RGS4) may confer risk for schizophrenia.(1) DNA microarray studies of postmortem brain samples have shown RGS4 underexpression in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC, area 9), motor and visual cortices in schizophrenia patients relative to control subjects.(2) Underexpression of RGS4 in DLPFC is pathophysiologically significant because DLPFC pathology in schizophrenia has been supported by neurocognitive,(3,4) structural(5) and functional(6,7) imaging, postmortem,(8) cellular(9,10) and molecular(11) pathological studies. For these reasons, we examined the association of DLPFC gray matter volume with RGS4 polymorphisms in a series of antipsychotic-naive first-episode schizophrenia patients and control subjects. We hypothesized that volumetric alterations of the DLPFC would be associated with RGS4 polymorphisms and that these differences would be more pronounced in patients than in controls. We observed robust volumetric differences across the genotypes in the pooled sample of patients and control subjects; when separately analyzed, we observed differences within the patient group (n = 30) but not in control subject (n = 27) group. The findings suggest that RGS4 polymorphisms may contribute to structural alterations in the DLPFC.
