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

BACKGROUND Schizophrenia is a multigene disease with a complex etiology and different clinical manifestations. It is of great significance to understand the etiology and pathogenesis of schizophrenia patients from different clinical dimensions and to interpret the potential molecular changes of schizophrenia patients from different clinical dimensions. MATERIAL AND METHODS RNA-Seq was performed on peripheral blood leukocytes of 50 patients with schizophrenia and 50 healthy controls. Phenotypic information of patients with schizophrenia was collected during blood sampling. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were screened by the edgeR package of R software. To better analyze the correlation between DEG expression values, explore the potential association between differential genes and clinical dimensions of schizophrenia, and identify hub genes, we constructed a DEG co-expression network using weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA). RESULTS We provide the transcription profiles of peripheral blood leukocytes in patients with schizophrenia and found a gene module (including 89 genes) closely related to the clinical dimension of abnormal psychomotor behavior in schizophrenia. CONCLUSIONS The findings enhance our understanding of the biological processes of schizophrenia, enabling us to identify specific clinical dimensions of genes for diagnosis and prognostic markers and possibly for targeted therapy.
