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

Neurotrophins such as brain-derived neurotropic factor (BDNF), play critical role in neuronal survival, synaptic plasticity and cognitive functions. BDNF is known to mediate its action through various intracellular signaling pathways triggered by activation of tyrosine kinase receptor B (TrkB). Evidence from clinical as well pre-clinical studies indicate alterations in BDNF signaling in schizophrenia. Moreover, several antipsychotic drugs have time-dependent effects on BDNF levels in both schizophrenia subjects and animal models of schizophrenia. Given the emerging interest in neuroplasticity in schizophrenia understanding the neuroprotective and cell survival roles of BDNF signaling will enhance our knowledge of its diverse effects, which may lead to more effective treatments for schizophrenia. This article will present an overview of recent findings on the role of BDNF signaling in the pathophysiology and treatment of schizophrenia, with a special focus on its neuroprotective effects.
