Identifying modifiable comorbidities of schizophrenia by integrating electronic health records and polygenic risk.
Article in medRxiv : the preprint server for health sciences, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Patients with schizophrenia have substantial comorbidity contributing to reduced life expectancy of 10-20 years. Identifying which comorbidities might be modifiable could improve rates of premature mortality in this population. We hypothesize that conditions that frequently co-occur but lack shared genetic risk with schizophrenia are more likely to be products of treatment, behavior, or environmental factors and therefore potentially modifiable. To test this hypothesis, we calculated phenome-wide comorbidity from electronic health records (EHR) in 250,000 patients in each of two independent health care institutions (Vanderbilt University Medical Center and Mass General Brigham) and association with schizophrenia polygenic risk scores (PRS) across the same phenotypes (phecodes) in linked biobanks. Comorbidity with schizophrenia was significantly correlated across institutions (r = 0.85) and consistent with prior literature. After multiple test correction, there were 77 significant phecodes comorbid with schizophrenia. Overall, comorbidity and PRS association were highly correlated (r = 0.55, p = 1.29×10
