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

Schizophrenia (SCZ) and bipolar disorder (BD) share clinical characteristics, genetic susceptibility, and immune alterations. We aimed to identify differential transcriptional patterns in peripheral blood cells of patients with SCZ or BD versus healthy controls (HC). We analyzed microarray-based global gene expression data in whole blood from a cohort of SCZ (N = 329), BD (N = 203) and HC (N = 189). In total, 65 genes were significantly differentially expressed in SCZ and 125 in BD, as compared to HC, with similar ratio of up- and downregulated genes in both disorders. Among the top differentially expressed genes, we found an innate immunity signature that was shared between SCZ and BD, consisting of a cluster of upregulated genes (e.g., OLFM4, ELANE, BPI and MPO) that indicate an increased fraction of immature neutrophils. Several of these genes displayed sex differences in the expression pattern, and post-hoc analysis demonstrated a positive correlation with triglyceride and a negative correlation with HDL cholesterol. We found that many of the downregulated genes in SCZ and BD were associated with smoking. These findings of neutrophil granulocyte-associated transcriptome signatures in both SCZ and BD point at altered innate immunity pathways with association to lipid changes and potential for clinical translation.
