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

backgroundDysbindin (DTNBP1) is a widely studied candidate gene for schizophrenia (SCZ); however, inconsistent results across studies triggered skepticism towards the validity of the findings. In this HapMap-based study, we reappraised the association between Dysbindin and SCZ in a large sample of German ethnicity.

methodSix hundred thirty-four cases with DSM-IV SCZ, 776 controls, and 180 parent-offspring trios were genotyped for 38 Dysbindin SNPs. We also studied two phenotypically-defined subsamples: 147 patients with a positive family history of SCZ (FH-SCZ+) and SCZ patients characterized for cognitive performance with Trail-Making Tests A and B (TMT-A: n=219; TMT-B: n=247). Given previous evidence of gene-gene interactions in SCZ involving the COMT gene, we also assessed epistatic interactions between Dysbindin markers and 14 SNPs in COMT.

resultsNo association was detected between Dysbindin markers and SCZ, or in the FH-SCZ+ subgroup. Only one marker (rs1047631, previously reported to be part of a risk haplotype), showed a nominally significant association with performance on TMT-A and TMT-B; these findings did not remain significant after correction for multiple comparisons. Similarly, no pair-wise epistatic interactions between Dysbindin and COMT markers remained significant after correction for 504 pair-wise comparisons.

conclusionsOur results, based on one of the largest samples of European Caucasians and using narrowly-defined criteria for SCZ, do not support the etiological involvement of Dysbindin markers in SCZ. Larger samples may be needed in order to unravel Dysbindin's possible role in the genetic basis of proposed intermediate phenotypes of SCZ or to detect epistatic interactions.
