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

Altered mitochondrial electron transport chain function has been implicated in the pathophysiology and etiology of schizophrenia. To date, our previously published study (i.e. first cohort) is still the only study to demonstrate that mitochondrial electron transport chain is not altered in white blood cells from individuals at clinical high risk for psychosis. Here, we aimed to replicate our previous findings with an independent set of samples and validate the levels of mitochondrial complex I-V content in individuals at clinical high risk for psychosis. We demonstrated that the second cohort (i.e. validation cohort) expressed similar results as the first cohort. We combined the first cohort study with the second cohort and once more validated a lack of differential levels in mitochondrial complex I-V content between the two groups. In addition, we were able to validate a correlation between complex III content and prodromal negative symptom severity when the two cohorts studies were combined. Additionally, a correlation between complex V content and prodromal disorganization symptom severity was found when the two cohorts were combined. In conclusion, our results showed that dysfunction of the mitochondrial electron transport chain is not detected in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of individuals in the putative prodromal stage of schizophrenia.
