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

backgroundSchizophrenia and bipolar disorder are the two most serious and debilitating neuropsychiatric disorders that share many characteristics, both symptomatic and epidemiological. There has yet to be a single diagnostic biomarker discovered for schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Proteomics holds promise in elucidating the pathophysiology of these neuropsychiatric disorders from each other and healthy individuals.

findingsPostmortem prefrontal cortex tissue from schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and psychiatric-free controls (n = 35 in each group) were subject to SELDI-TOF-MS protein profiling. There were 13 protein peaks distinguishing schizophrenia versus control and 15 in bipolar versus control. Using a predictor set of 10 peaks for each comparison, 73% prediction accuracy (p = 2.3×10(-4)) was achieved. Three peaks were in common between schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.

conclusionsThis pilot study found protein profiles that distinguished schizophrenia and bipolar patients from controls and notably from each other. Identifying and characterizing the proteins in this study may elucidate neuropsychiatric phenotypes and uncover therapeutic targets. Further, applying class prediction bioinformatics may allow the clinician to differentiate the two phenotypes by profiling CSF or even serum.
