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 objective of this study was to investigate the hypothesis that borderline personality disorder (BPD) and bipolar disorder (BD) share genetic variation through analysis of known genetic risk factors for BD in a well-characterized BPD case-control cohort. Genotyping of five genome-wide significant variants identified for BD (in CACNA1C, ANK3, and ODZ4) was performed in 673 BPD cases and 748 controls. A nominally significant association with BPD was found for rs1006737 in CACNA1C (P=0.0498). Sex-specific analysis showed that this signal was present only in women. This is the first report of an association between a BD risk gene and BPD where selection was not based on a priori hypotheses about its function, but on an unbiased hypothesis-free screening of the genome. Genome-wide association data of large samples of BPD are warranted and will eventually identify new risk genes and the overlap between BPD and BD if it exists.
