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

Genetic discovery in obsessive-compulsive disorder and Tourette's syndrome has made significant progress in the past decade. The two disorders are phenomenologically, epidemiologically, and probably pathophysiologically related; however, as with most neuropsychiatric disorders, gene discovery has been challenging. Genetic epidemiology studies support the existence of susceptibility genes in both disorders, and more extensive genome-wide studies are under way. Gene pathways involving neurotransmitter (serotonin, dopamine, glutamate) and neurodevelopment (synaptic, homeobox) domains have been examined, but more complex genetic mechanisms remain largely unexplored. This review addresses the current state of genetic research in obsessive-compulsive disorder and Tourette's syndrome, emphasizing commonalities between the disorders. Questions on common genetic substrates, the use of endophenotypes, and the utility of genetic data to inform pharmacologic treatment are also addressed.
