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 major findings regarding the genetics of stress response and stress-related disorders are: (i) variations in genes involved in the sympathetic system or in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical axis are associated with altered stress responses; (ii) genes related to the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system or inflammation/immune response show associations with cardiovascular disorders; (iii) genes involved in monoaminergic neurotransmitter systems are associated with bipolar disorder and unipolar depression. The vast majority of these association studies followed a conventional hypothesis-driven approach, restricting the gene selection to established candidates. This very conservative approach retarded our understanding of the complex interplay between genetic factors, stress response, and stress-related disorders. Chip-based whole-genome technologies will open up access to new unbiased and statistically efficient approaches that will help to identify new candidate genes, which should be thoroughly validated in clinical and preclinical confirmatory studies. This, together with the use of new text--and information-mining tools, will bring us closer to integrating all the findings into sophisticated models delineating the pathways from genes to stress response and stress-related disorders.
