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

Recent genetic studies for suicidality, including four independent GWAS, have not reproduced each other's top implicated genes. While arguments of heterogeneity, methodology, and sample sizes can be invoked, heterogeneity is a feature, not a "bug" (as is well understood in biology and in personalized medicine). A comprehensive body of work on blood biomarkers for suicidality has previously been published by our group. We examine the issue of reproducibility using these different approaches, and provide reassuring evidence for convergence of findings, as well as some generalizable insights.
