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: Immunological alterations in schizophrenic patients have been considered during last decade. There are no remarkable reports on the changes of IL-17A and IL-21 in schizophrenic patients. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate changes of serum IL-17A and IL-21 in schizophrenic patients in comparison with healthy controls. Methods: In the present study serum levels of IL-17A and IL-21 in 30 patients with schizophrenia before treatment and three months after treatment were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and compare to 30 match healthy control group. Results: Serum levels of IL-21 in schizophrenic patient was significantly higher than control group (P= 0.001). Serum levels of IL-17A in the schizophrenic patients had no significant changes than the control group (P= 0.4). Serum levels of IL-17A in patients with schizophrenia three months after treatment than before treatment had no significant change (P=0.7) and IL-21 serum levels in schizophrenic patient three month after treatment was not significant changed in comparison with this group before treatment (P= 0.06). Conclusion: The serum levels of interlukine-21 is elevated in schizophrenic. Results of this study showed that IL-21 might be involved in the pathologic mechanism of schizophrenia.
