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

Numerous electrophysiological studies have showed auditory sensory gating-out abnormalities in chronic schizophrenia with antipsychotic medication. Previous research has used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) with excellent spatial resolution to identify the neural substrates of sensory gating-out deficits revealing increased hemodynamic response in the hippocampus, thalamus and prefrontal cortex. However, such results obtained from medicated patients may be confounded by antipsychotic medication. The present study scanned 15 first-episode schizophrenia patients not yet receiving any medical treatment and 15 healthy controls matched in gender, age and education when they performed a sensory gating-out task adapted for fMRI. The symptoms of the patients were assessed with the positive and negative syndrome scale. Different from previous findings, the schizophrenia patients showed decreased activation in hippocampus and thalamus during sensory gating-out, compared with the normal controls. The results support the theory attributing abnormal sensory gating-out in schizophrenia patients to the dysfunction of hippocampus and thalamus.
