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

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between dopamine receptor D2 (DRD2) and catechol-o-methyltransferase (COMT) gene polymorphism, hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) and hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axes functions, and macroprolactinemia induced by antipsychotics. Patients and Methods: A total of 133 patients with schizophrenia were selected and given risperidone (4~6mg/d) monotherapy. The polymorphisms of DRD2 Taq1A and COMT Val158Met were analyzed using RFLP-PCR at baseline, and the levels of total prolactin (T-PRL), macroprolactin, C peptide (C-P), estradiol (E2), cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein (LDL), insulin, cortisol, thyroid function, and reproductive hormone were measured at baseline and the end of the fourth week of treatment. The patients were divided into a hyperprolactinemia group and a macroprolactinemia group according to their levels of T-PRL and macroprolactin, and the differences in the above indexes between the two groups were analyzed. Results: There was no significant difference in the DRD2 Taq1A or COMT Val158Met gene polymorphisms between the two groups. However, after four weeks of treatment, significant differences were observed between the two groups in terms of C-P ( Conclusion: DRD2 Taq1A and COMT Val158Met gene polymorphisms may not be effective in predicting macroprolactinemia, but changes in C-P, E2, TC, insulin, T3 and FT3 levels may have some suggestive significance for the differentiation of hyperprolactinemia and macroprolactinemia.
