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

backgroundDepressive symptoms are common among individuals with alcohol use disorders and impact treatment outcome. Substantial overlap exists among the neurobiological systems proposed in the pathophysiology of depressive and alcohol use disorders; however, specific genetic effects contributing to risk for depressive comorbidity remain poorly understood.

methodsThis study examines the association of depressive symptom scores for lifetime depression (the sum of DSM-IV major depression co-endorsed criteria for lifetime depression) with markers in 120 candidate genes in 554 alcohol-dependent individuals. The candidate genes code for molecules involved in dopamine, serotonin, glutamate, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), and opioid neurotransmission, cell signaling, pharmacokinetics, stress biology, and behavioral control. Analyses were conducted at the single marker level with experimentwise permutation to control for multiple testing.

resultsResults revealed nominal associations for markers in 20 genes. Following experimentwise permutation, markers in the corticotropin-releasing hormone-binding protein (CRHBP) the μ-opioid receptor (OPRM1) and the β1 subunit of GABA A (GABA(A)) receptors (GABRB1) met or exceeded the significance threshold. None of the markers associated with depressive symptom scores were significantly associated with alcohol dependence symptom scores.

conclusionThese findings suggest potential risk genes for depressive symptoms in alcohol-dependent individuals.
