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 heterogeneous mental disorder caused by genetic and environmental factors, and epigenetic mechanisms play a vital role in its pathogenesis. Evidence suggests that some psychiatric disorders are linked to methylation of the glucocorticoid receptor gene NR3C1, a key regulator of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. However, the contribution of NR3C1 methylation to schizophrenia has not yet been investigated. By applying a case-control approach (N = 128 controls, N = 80 patients), we for the first time examined the methylation state of the NR3C1 gene promoter region and its role in schizophrenia. Using peripheral blood samples, NR3C1 methylation in exons 1
