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

introductionThe study was conducted to evaluate simultaneously gray matter changes and white matter changes in patients with schizophrenia.

methodsCortical thickness, gray matter volume, and white matter anisotropy and diffusivity changes in schizophrenic patients (n = 21) were assessed relative to age-, gender-, and parental socioeconomic status-matched healthy controls (n = 21). We used a newly described semi-automated method (FreeSurfer version 4.5) to determine cortical thickness and gray matter volume and used the tract-based spatial statistics method to evaluate white matter anisotropy and diffusivity.

resultsSchizophrenic patients showed a significant decrease in hippocampal volume compared with healthy controls. No significant thickness deficits or anisotropy and diffusivity changes were found in schizophrenic patients compared with healthy controls. Stepwise multivariate analysis revealed that hippocampal volume was positively related to duration of illness in schizophrenic patients.

conclusionOur results suggest that hippocampal volume is smaller in schizophrenic patients compared with healthy controls and that progressive hippocampal volume loss occurs in the early course of illness in schizophrenic patients but not in the more chronic stages.
