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

Gene expression profiling studies could be a valuable tool in identifying the specific genes and pathways involved in the mechanism of action of clozapine, leading to a better understanding of the molecular biology underlying treatment-resistant schizophrenia (TRS). We aimed to identify the co-expressed modules that reflect the genetic differences between clozapine-treated and non-clozapine-treated patients with schizophrenia as a proxy of TRS. Gene expression of DLPFC samples from 26 subjects with schizophrenia (13 clozapine treated and 13 non-clozapine treated) were analyzed using Clariom S Human Array. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was applied to identify modules of co-expressed genes and to test its association with clozapine treatment. As a result of our analysis of the gene co-expression architecture in the DLPFC, among the 13 modules identified, one module (green) was significantly associated with clozapine treatment (p = 3.7 × 10
