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

objectiveAlthough the treatment of schizophrenia with many second generation antipsychotics is known to be associated with metabolic changes, such as hyperglycemia or hypercholesterolemia, the underlying mechanisms of these adverse reactions remain unclear. In light of the recent focus on the involvement of semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO) in glucose metabolism, we investigated SSAO serum activity in schizophrenic patients treated with antipsychotics with the objective of determining a possible link between SSAO and impaired glucose metabolism.

methodsBlood samples were drawn from 44 schizophrenic patients (24 receiving second generation antipsychotics known to disturb glucose metabolism) on day 1 and day 5 of inpatient treatment. Forty-one healthy adults with no medical condition known to influence SSAO served as controls.

resultsOf the 44 schizophrenic patients, the 24 treated with second generation antipsychotics known to disturb glucose metabolism showed significantly lower SSAO serum activity [day 1 (mean +/- SD): 477 +/- 105 mU/L; day 5: 438 +/- 86 mU/L] than the 20 patients treated with other antipsychotics not known to influence glucose metabolism (day 1: 513 +/- 124 mU/L, p = 0.359; day 5: 542 +/- 204 mU/L, p = 0.021) only after 5 days of treatment and compared to healthy controls (526 +/- 142 mU/L, p = 0.021). No differences were observed between schizophrenic patients treated with first generation antipsychotics and the controls.

conclusionWe found decreased SSAO serum activity exclusively in schizophrenic patients treated with second generation antipsychotics known to disturb glucose metabolism. In terms of the role of SSAO in glucose metabolism, the observed decrease in SSAO serum activity may be linked to metabolic changes that are known to occur in schizophrenic patients being treated with many second generation antipsychotics.
