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 and Purpose: Emerging studies have shown that gut-derived endotoxins might play a role in intestinal and systemic inflammation. Although the significance of intestinal permeability in modulating the pathogenesis of Schizophrenia (SCZ) is recognized, not much data on the specific role of intestinal permeability biomarkers, viz., zonulin, lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP), and intestinal alkaline phosphatase (IAP) in SCZ is available. Therefore, we measured the plasma levels of zonulin, LBP, and IAP and its correlation with neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR); a marker of systemic inflammation in patients with SCZ. Methods: We recruited 60 individuals, patients with SCZ ( Results: Plasma levels of both LBP and zonulin were significantly increased ( Conclusion: Our study demonstrates an association of zonulin, LBP, and IAP in Asian Indian SCZ patients and correlates with NLR. Our results indicate that low-grade inflammation induced by metabolic endotoxemia might be implicated in the pathoetiology of SCZ.
