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 synaptosomal-associated protein of 25 kDa (SNAP-25) is part of the soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive fusion protein (NSF) attachment receptor (SNARE), which mediates synaptic neurotransmission. In earlier studies a possible involvement of this protein in schizophrenia has been shown. As neurocognitive impairment is a core feature in the pathology of schizophrenia and considered to be a putative endophenotype according to genetic studies we investigated the influences of different SNAP-25 polymorphisms on neuropsychological test results before and during treatment with atypical antipsychotics. A total of 104 schizophrenic patients treated with atypical antipsychotics were genotyped for three different polymorphisms of the SNAP-25 gene (MnlI, TaiI and DdeI in the 3'-UTR). Cognitive function was assessed at baseline, week 4 or 6 and week 8 or 12. Results of individual neuropsychological tests were assigned to six cognitive domains (reaction time and quality; executive function; working, verbal and visual memory) and a general cognitive index. The MnlI and TaiI polymorphisms showed no associations to deficits on neuropsychological test results. In contrast, we observed a significant relation between the DdeI polymorphism of the SNAP-25 gene and cognitive dysfunctions. Homozygote T/T allele carriers of the DdeI polymorphism showed significant better neuropsychological test results in cognitive domains verbal memory and executive functions than those with the combined T/C and C/C genotypes (P < 0.01) at all three time points, but no differences in response to treatment with atypical antipsychotics. Additionally, TT carriers exhibited significantly better results in a general cognitive index (P < 0.05). As we observed an association between the DdeI polymorphism of the SNAP-25 gene and cognitive dysfunctions of schizophrenic patients our finding suggests that the SNAP-25 gene could play a role in the pathophysiology of neurocognitive dysfunctions in schizophrenia but is not predictive for treatment response with atypical antipsychotics.
