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

In the present study, we evaluated functional activity of the alternative pathway of complement in schizophrenia by measuring the alternative pathway hemolytic activity (AH50) of complement as well as hemolytic activity of the complement C3 component (C3H50) in the blood of patients with schizophrenia and healthy subjects. To assess the influence of neuroleptic treatment on measured parameters, both drug-free and medicated patients were examined. In addition, correlation analysis between AH50 and C3H50 has been performed. The results of the present study clearly demonstrate upregulation of the alternative complement cascade in schizophrenia and activator effect of neuroleptics on complement alternative pathway. Based upon the results obtained we hypothesize that hyperactivation of the alternative complement pathway in schizophrenia is stimulated by apoptotic cells.
