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

objectivesmRNA for serotonin 2C receptor (5-HT(2C)R) undergoes editing which results in numerous isoforms. More highly edited isoforms exhibit decreased function. We recently found greater 5-HT(2C)R editing in suicide victims with prior bipolar disorder (BPD) or schizophrenia (SZ) compared with non-suicide patients and normal controls (NC). This study compares suicides and non-suicides with major depressive disorder (MDD(Suic) and MDD(NoSuic)) and non-suicide NC.

methodsmRNA editing was assessed in prefrontal cortex of 24 MDD(Suic), 21 MDD(NoSuic), and 56 NC using next generation sequencing. mRNA expression of 5-HT(2C)R and editing enzymes (ADAR1-2) was assessed by real-time PCR.

resultsEditing was lower in MDD(NoSuic) than in MDD(Suic), which did not differ from NC. No differences in the 5-HT(2C)R or ADAR1 expression were detected. ADAR2 expression was higher in NC than in MDD subjects, but did not differ between MDD(NoSuic) and MDD(Suic).

conclusionsOur findings suggest the presence of two factors associated with 5-HT(2C)R editing. One factor, which probably stems from decreased ADAR2 expression, is linked to MDD and is associated with less editing. The other, seen also in our previous study of suicide in BP and SZ, is linked to suicide alone and is associated with more editing and, therefore, less receptor function.
