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

The phosphodiesterase 4B (PDE4B) is a candidate susceptibility gene for schizophrenia (SCZ), interacting with DISC1, a known genetic risk factor for SCZ. To examine if variants within PDE4B gene are associated with SCZ in Northwestern Han Chinese, and if these effects vary in gender-specific subgroup, we analyzed 20 SNPs, selected from previous studies and preliminary HapMap data analyses with minor allele frequency (MAF) ≥ 20%, in a cohort of 428 cases and 572 controls from genetically independent Northwestern Han Chinese. Single SNP association, haplotype association and sex-specific association analysis were performed. We found that rs472952 is significantly associated with SCZ and rs7537440 is associated with SCZ in females. Further analysis indicated that a haplotype block spanning PDE4B2 splice site is highly associated with SCZ and several haplotypes in this block have about twofold to threefold increase in cases. Our results provide further evidence that PDE4B may play important roles in the etiology of SCZ.
