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

Childhood-onset schizophrenia (COS) is a rare and severe form of the disorder, with more striking abnormalities with respect to prepsychotic developmental disorders and abnormities in the brain development compared with later-onset schizophrenia. We previously documented that COS patients, compared with their healthy siblings and with adult-onset patients (AOS), carry significantly more rare chromosomal copy number variations, spanning large genomic regions (>100 kb) (Ahn et al. 2014). Here, we interrogated the contribution of common polygenic variation to the genetic susceptibility for schizophrenia. We examined the association between a direct measure of genetic risk of schizophrenia in 130 COS probands and 103 healthy siblings. Using data from the schizophrenia and autism GWAS of the Psychiatric Genomic Consortia, we selected three risk-related sets of single nucleotide polymorphisms from which we conducted polygenic risk score comparisons for COS probands and their healthy siblings. COS probands had higher genetic risk scores of both schizophrenia and autism than their siblings (P<0.05). Given the small sample size, these findings suggest that COS patients have more salient genetic risk than do AOS.
