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

Cardiac diseases and sudden cardiac death (SCD) are more prevalent in individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia compared to the general population, with especially coronary artery disease (CAD) as the major cardiovascular cause of death. Antipsychotic medications, genetics, and lifestyle factors may contribute to the increased SCD in individuals with schizophrenia. The role of antipsychotic medications and lifestyle factors have been widely investigated, while the genetic predisposition to inherited cardiac diseases in schizophrenia is poorly understood. In this study, we examined 100 genes associated with inherited cardiomyopathies and cardiac channelopathies in 97 deceased individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia for the prevalence of genetic variants associated with SCD. The deceased individuals had various causes of death and were included in the SURVIVE project, a prospective, autopsy-based study of mentally ill individuals in Denmark. This is the first study of multiple inherited cardiac disease-related genes in deceased individuals with diagnosed schizophrenia to shed light on the genetic predisposition to SCD in individuals with schizophrenia. We found no evidence for an overrepresentation of rare variants with high penetrance in inherited cardiac diseases, following the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics and the Association for Molecular Pathology (ACMG) consensus guidelines. However, we found that the deceased individuals had a statistically significantly increased polygenic burden caused by variants in the investigated heart genes compared to the general population. This indicates that common variants with smaller effects in heart genes may play a role in schizophrenia.
