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

Zinc (Zn) may be associated with schizophrenia (SCH), since its altered homeostasis can contribute to abnormal glutamatergic neurotransmission, inflammation, neurodegeneration and autoimmune abnormalities. It has been proposed that a number of patients with SCH could benefit from the use of Zn, either on its own or along with vitamins C, E and B6, and prenatal supplementation of Zn during the gestation period can mitigate the lipopolysaccharide‑induced rat model of maternal immune activation. The aim of the present review was to summarize the various effects of Zn dyshomeostasis on patients with psychosis and to clarify in what ways they could benefit from Zn supplementation.
