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

Postmortem brain studies have shown deficits in the cortical gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) system in schizophrenic individuals. Expression studies have shown a decrease in the major GABA-synthesizing enzyme (glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD67) mRNA levels in neurons in dorsolateral prefrontal cortex in schizophrenics relative to controls. In the present study, SNPs in and around the GAD1 gene, which encodes the protein GAD67, were tested on a rare, severely ill group of children and adolescents with childhood-onset schizophrenia (COS) (n=72), in a family-based association analysis. Compared to adult-onset samples, the COS sample has evidence for more salient familial, and perhaps genetic, risk factors for schizophrenia, as well as evidence for frontal cortical hypofunction, and greater decline in cortical gray matter volume on anatomic brain MRI scans during adolescence. We performed family-based TDT and haplotype association analyses of the clinical phenotype, as well as association analyses with endophenotypes using the QTDT program. Three adjacent SNPs in the 5' upstream region of GAD1 showed a positive pairwise association with illness in these families (P=0.022-0.057). Significant transmission distortion of 4-SNP haplotypes was also observed (P=0.003-0.008). Quantitative trait TDT analyses showed an intriguing association between several SNPs and increased rate of frontal gray matter loss. These observations, when taken together with the positive results reported recently in two independent adult-onset schizophrenia pedigree samples, suggest that the gene encoding GAD67 may be a common risk factor for schizophrenia.
