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

The NRXN1 locus is a hotspot for non-recurrent copy number variants and exon-disrupting NRXN1 deletions have been associated with increased risk of neurodevelopmental disorders in case-control studies. However, corresponding population-based estimates of prevalence and disease-associated risk are currently lacking. Also, most studies have not differentiated between deletions affecting exons of different NRXN1 splice variants nor considered intronic deletions. We used the iPSYCH2015 case-cohort sample to obtain unbiased estimates of the prevalence of NRXN1 deletions and their associated risk of autism, schizophrenia, depression, and ADHD. Most exon-disrupting deletions affected exons specific to the alpha isoform, and almost half of the non-exonic deletions represented a previously reported segregating founder deletion. Carriage of exon-disrupting NRXN1 deletions was associated with a threefold and twofold increased risk of autism and ADHD, respectively, whereas no significantly increased risk of depression or schizophrenia was observed. Our results highlight the importance of using population-based samples in genetic association studies.
