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

Objective: The study was designed to compare the expression levels of IL-6 mRNA, long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) NRON (non-coding repressor of the nuclear factor of activated T cells [NFAT]) and TMEVPG1 (Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus persistence candidate gene 1) which play critical roles in the regulation of immune function, and to investigate relationship between expression levels and symptom type and the cognitive functions in patients with schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder. Methods: The study included 84 participants (27 patients with schizophrenia, 27 with schizoaffective disorder, and 30 healthy subjects). The lncRNA (TMEVPG1 and NRON) and IL-6 mRNA expression analysis was measured with the real-time PCR method. The Wisconsin Card Sorting Test, the Stroop Test, Clinical Global Impression Scale, Positive and Negative Symptoms Scale, Young Mania Rating Scale and the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale were applied. Results: The lncRNA TMEVPG1 expression level was determined to be higher in the patient groups than controls. The TMEVPG1 was able to differentiate schizophrenia cases from the controls. In the schizoaffective group, a positive correlation was determined between NRON expression and positive symptomatology, and an increase in NRON expression was determined to make a moderate contribution to cognitive dysfunction. NRON expression was decreased as the dose of antipsychotic drug increased in the schizophrenia group. Conclusion: The results of this study demonstrated that there are significant differences between schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder in terms of inflammatory markers and their relationship between the symptom type or cognitive functions.
