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

As expanding genetic and genomic studies continue to implicate a growing list of variants contributing risk to neuropsychiatric disease, an important next step is to understand the functional impact and points of convergence of these risk factors. Here, with a focus on schizophrenia, we survey the most recent findings of the rare and common variants underlying genetic risk for schizophrenia. We discuss the ongoing efforts to validate these variants in post-mortem brain tissue, as well as new approaches to combine CRISPR-based genome engineering with patient-specific human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-based models, in order to identify putative causal schizophrenia loci that regulate gene expression and cellular function. We consider the current limitations of hiPSC-based approaches as well as the future advances necessary to improve the fidelity of this human model. With the objective of utilizing patient genotype data to improve diagnosis and predict treatment response, the integration of CRISPR-genome engineering and hiPSC-based models represent an important strategy with which to systematically demonstrate the cell-type-specific effects of schizophrenia-associated variants.
