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

backgroundGenetic variation may contribute to differential gene expression in the brain of individuals with psychiatric disorders. To test this hypothesis, we identified genes that were differentially expressed in individuals with bipolar disorder, along with nearby single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that were associated with expression of the same genes. We then tested these SNPs for association with bipolar disorder in large case-control samples.

methodsWe used the Stanley Genomics Database to extract gene expression and SNP microarray data from individuals with bipolar disorder (n = 40) and unaffected controls (n = 43). We identified 367 genes that were differentially expressed in the prefrontal cortex of cases vs. controls (fold change > 1.3 and FDR q-value < .05) and 45 nearby SNPs that were associated with expression of those same genes (FDR q-value < .05). We tested these SNPs for association with bipolar disorder in a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) including 4,936 cases and 6,654 healthy controls.

resultsWe identified 45 SNPs that were associated with expression of differentially expressed genes, including HBS1L (15 SNPs), HLA-DPB1 (15 SNPs), AMFR (8 SNPs), PCLO (2 SNPs) and WDR41 (2 SNPs). Of these, one SNP (rs13438494), in an intron of the piccolo (PCLO) gene, was significantly associated with bipolar disorder (FDR adjusted p < .05) in the meta-analysis of GWAS.

conclusionsThese results support the previous findings implicating PCLO in mood disorders and demonstrate the utility of combining gene expression and genetic variation data to improve our understanding of the genetic contribution to bipolar disorder.
