The Anti-social Brain in Schizophrenia: A Role of CaMKII?
Review in Frontiers in psychiatry, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
Current pharmacological therapy has limited effects on the cognitive impairments and negative symptoms associated with schizophrenia. Therefore, understanding the molecular underpinnings of this disorder is essential for the development of effective treatments. It appears that a reduction in calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (α-CaMKII) activity is a common mechanism underlying the abnormal social behavior and cognitive deficits associated with schizophrenia. In addition, in a previous study social interaction with a partner of the same sex and weight increased the activity of α-CaMKII in rats. Here, we propose that boosting of CaMKII signaling, in a manner that counteracts this neuropsychiatric disease without disrupting the normal brain function, might ameliorate the abnormalities in social cognition and the negative symptoms of schizophrenia.
