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

objectivesThe transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1 (TRPV1) is a factor that mediates glial cell response with effects on mitochondrial function. It may affect the occurrence and development of schizophrenia. The aim of this study is to further explore schizophrenia biomarkers by analyzing TRPV1 and oxidative stress in astrocyte-derived extracellular vesicles (ADEs) and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs).

methodsA case-control study was conducted. The Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale and the Brief Assessment of Cognition in Schizophrenia (BACS) clinical data were obtained from 50 symptomatic patients with schizophrenia and 50 controls, and fasting peripheral blood samples were collected for the isolation of PBMCs and ADEs. Western blotting was used to assess TRPV1, Sirtuin3 (Sirt3), SOD2, and acetyl-SOD2.

resultsThe patient group exhibited significantly reduced TRPV1 and Sirt3 expression levels in PBMCs and ADEs compared with the control group. In addition, there was a marked increase in SOD2 and acetyl-SOD2 levels. TRPV1 was negatively correlated with the negative symptom score in the patient PBMCs and ADEs. SOD2 showed positive correlations with the general psychopathology symptom score, and acetyl-SOD2 was positively correlated with the negative symptom score. The BACS total score was positively correlated with TRPV1 levels and negatively correlated with acetyl-SOD2 levels in the patient group.

conclusionTRPV1 expressions in PBMCs and ADEs were reduced and closely correlated, and TRPV1 levels were associated with psychiatric symptoms and cognitive function in patients with schizophrenia. It was indicated that TRPV1 could be a biomarker for schizophrenia and reflect the disease severity.
