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 aims of this study were: (1) to identify candidate single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and mechanisms of major depressive disorder (MDD) and (2) to generate SNP-to-gene-to-pathway hypotheses. An MDD genome-wide association study (GWAS) data set that included 365,419 SNPs in 1,821 MDD cases and 1,822 controls of European descent was used in this study. Identify Candidate Causal SNPs and Pathway (ICSNPathway) analysis was applied to the GWAS dataset. ICSNPathway analysis identified 21 candidate SNPs, 16 genes, and 5 pathways, which provided 16 hypothetical biological mechanisms. The strongest hypothetical biological mechanism was that rs3213764 alters the role of ATF7IP in the context of the pathways of negative regulation of transcription, negative regulation of nucleobase, nucleoside, nucleotide, and nucleic acid metabolic processes and negative regulation of gene expression (nominal p < 0.001, FDR = 0.043, 0.044, and 0.046, respectively). Five of 16 candidate genes are known to be associated with inflammatory or immune response that may be associated with MDD: ANPEP, PRDM1, ZBTB32, MMP8, and ENPEP. By applying the ICSNPathway analysis to the MDD GWAS data, 21 candidate SNPs, 16 genes that included ATF7IP, ANPEP, PRDM1, ZBTB32, MMP8, and ENPEP, and 5 pathways that involved negative regulation of transcription and nucleic acid metabolism were identified that may contribute to MDD susceptibility.
