A study of the association between polymorphisms in the genes for interleukins IL-6 and IL-10 and negative symptoms subdomains in schizophrenia.

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
Background: Schizophrenia is a severe mental illness manifested by various symptoms. Negative symptoms (NS) are associated with disability and poor function of patients. The study of NS neurobiology is complicated by their heterogeneity. Factor analysis revealed two distinct NS subdomains with different pathophysiological mechanisms: volitional pathology, including avolition and apathy (AA), and diminished expression (DE). Inflammation is one mechanism that may underlie NS, including their heterogeneity. Aims: To search for the association between genes for interleukins ( Materials and Methods: The study included 275 patients with schizophrenia. NS factors were calculated based on the Positive and Negative Syndromes Scale. Results: There was a significant main effect of IL-10 polymorphisms on the AA, but not the DE subdomain. Mean score on the AA subdomain was higher in the Conclusion: The results provide further neurobiological evidence for the validity of the NS factor categorization. An imbalance between pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines because of genetic variations is associated with the AA NS subdomain that is supposed to be a more severe aspect of psychopathology compared to the DE.
