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

backgroundSchizophrenia is a common and complex mental illness that affects approximately 1% of the population worldwide. Despite intensive research over the years, the aetiology and pathogenesis of schizophrenia is poorly understood. However, it has long been recognised that schizophrenia is highly familial suggesting a possible genetic aetiology.

aimTo review recent molecular genetic research in schizophrenia.

methodsMedline and Embase search.

resultsOver the past decade, with the completion of the Human Genome Project, molecular genetic research has now identified a number of genes that are very likely to predispose to schizophrenia.

conclusionThis article discusses the methodologies that have been used to identify schizophrenia susceptibility genes and provides a review of recently identified genes thought to play a role in the pathogenesis of this illness.
