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

Cognitive impairment is one of the core symptoms of schizophrenia. Multiple domains of cognition are affected in patients with schizophrenia, which has a major effect on the functional outcome. Recent studies indicate that SNPs in the gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor beta 2 subunit (GABRB2) gene are associated with the risk of schizophrenia, however, the effect of these SNPs on cognitive function in patients with schizophrenia has not been explored. In this study, we first performed a case-control analysis of three SNPs (rs187269 allele A vs. G, rs252944 allele C vs. G, and rs194072 allele A vs. G) in 100 patients and 90 controls, then conducted a meta-analysis and found the SNP rs194072 was associated with schizophrenia (OR = 0.86, P = 0.0119), and survived after Bonferroni correction. The haplotype analysis suggested that the haplotype ACA, comprising the three SNPs (rs187269, rs252944 and rs194072) was also significantly associated with schizophrenia (P = 0.049).Then, we performed an association analysis of three SNPs (rs187269, rs252944 and rs194072) in GABRB2 gene with cognitive performance in patients with first episode schizophrenia. We found that the allele G of rs187269 in the GABRB2 gene was significantly associated with better cognitive flexibility (P = 0.005), a major aspect of executive function, in patients with first episode schizophrenia. The haplotype ACA was significantly associated with cognitive flexibility in patients with schizophrenia (P = 0.023). Our study showed that SNPs in GABRB2 may have a significant effect on cognitive function in patients with schizophrenia, suggesting that modulating GABRB2 may have therapeutic potential to improve cognitive function of patients with schizophrenia.
