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: Recent work from the Schizophrenia Exome Sequencing Meta-analysis (SCHEMA) consortium showed significant enrichment of ultrarare variants in schizophrenia cases. Family-based studies offer a unique opportunity to evaluate rare variants because risk in multiplex pedigrees is more likely to be influenced by the same collection of variants than an unrelated cohort. Methods: Here, we examine whole genome sequencing data from 35 individuals across 6 pedigrees multiply affected by schizophrenia. We applied a rigorous filtering pipeline to search for classes of protein-coding variants that cosegregated with disease status, and we examined these for evidence of enrichment in the SCHEMA dataset. Additionally, we applied a family-based consensus approach to call copy number variants and screen against a list of schizophrenia-associated risk variants. Results: We identified deleterious missense variants in 3 genes ( Conclusions: We have identified genes that are likely to increase schizophrenia risk in 3 of the 6 pedigrees examined, the strongest evidence being for a gene involved in calcium homeostasis. Further work is required to examine other classes of variants that may be contributing to disease burden.
