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

Opioid-binding protein/cell adhesion molecule (OPCML) gene has been recently identified as a susceptibility gene for schizophrenia in Europeans. This study aims to investigate the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the OPCML gene and risk of schizophrenia in a Thai population. DNA samples of 115 schizophrenia patients and 173 normal controls were genotyped using high-resolution melting analysis and analyzed by chi-square test of SPSS software. We observed a strong association between an intronic SNP of the OPCML gene (rs1784519) and the risk of schizophrenia in the Thai population [P = 0.00036; odds ratio for the minor A allele, 2.11(1.57-2.84)]. The previously discovered SNP associated with schizophrenia in Europeans, rs3016384, also showed significant association with schizophrenia in the Thai population [P = 0.01; odds ratio of the minor T allele, 0.59 (0.44-0.79)]. Therefore, the OPCML gene is considered to be a schizophrenia-susceptible gene in the Thai population.
