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

The disruption of genes by balanced translocations and other rare germline chromosomal abnormalities has played an important part in the discovery of many common Mendelian disorder genes, somatic oncogenes and tumour supressors. A search of published literature has identified 15 genes whose genomic sequences are directly disrupted by translocation breakpoints in individuals with neuropsychiatric illness. In these cases, it is reasonable to hypothesise that haploinsufficiency is a major factor contributing to illness. These findings suggest that the predicted polygenic nature of psychiatric illness may not represent the complete picture; genes of large individual effect appear to exist. Cytogenetic events may provide important insights into neurochemical pathways and cellular processes critical for the development of complex psychiatric phenotypes in the population at large.
