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

Schizophrenia is a chronic mental disorder that is still poorly understood despite decades of study. Many factors have been found to contribute to the pathogenesis, including neurodevelopmental disturbance, genetic risk, and environmental insult, but no single root cause has emerged. While evidence from twin studies suggests a strong heritable component, few individual loci have been identified in genomewide screens, suggesting a role for epigenetic effects. Rather, large numbers of weakly acting loci may cumulatively increase disease risk, including several mapping to epigenetic pathways. In this review, we discuss mechanisms of epigenetic regulation and evidence for an epigenetic contribution to disease phenotype. We further describe the range of experimental tools currently available to study epigenetic effects associated with the disease.
