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

Vitamin D receptor (VDR) signaling has been found to contribute to the pathology of numerous neuropsychiatric diseases including schizophrenia. Notably, VDR signaling has a functional relationship with many long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) such as SNHG6, LINC00346 and LINC00511. We calculated expression of these lncRNAs in the venous blood of patients with schizophrenia versus healthy individuals. Expression of SNHG6 was significantly higher in cases versus controls (posterior beta = 0.552, adjusted P value < 0.0001). This pattern of expression was detected in both men (posterior beta = 0.556, adjusted P value < 0.0001) and women (posterior beta = 0.31, adjusted P value = 0.005). Expression of LINC00346 was also higher in cases versus controls (posterior beta = 0.497, adjusted P value < 0.0001) and in distinct sex-based comparisons (posterior beta = 0.451, adjusted P value = 0.009 among men and posterior beta = 0.214, P value = 0.004 among women). Expression of LINC00511 was higher in cases versus controls (posterior beta = 0.318, adjusted P value = 0.01). While sex-based comparisons revealed significant difference in expression of LINC00511 among female subgroups (posterior beta = 0.424, adjusted P value = 0.016), such comparison showed no difference among male cases and male controls (adjusted P value = 0.295). The expression levels of SNHG6 distinguished patients with schizophrenia from controls, with AUC = 0.932. LINC00346 and LINC00511 distinguished between the two groups with AUC values of 0.795 and 0.706, respectively. Therefore, these lncRNAs might be used as markers for schizophrenia.
