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

backgroundCognitive impairment in schizophrenia patients is characterized by decreased functioning, reduced quality of life, and is a predictor of a more severe course of the disease. The rs4680 variant of the

aimTo explore the associations of the rs4680 variant of the

methodsA literature search of the PubMed database for the last 10 years (2014-2024) was performed with the search query "rs4680 schizophrenia cognition". The review included 11 studies.

resultsIn the majority of studies (9 out of 11), carriers of the Met allele demonstrated better cognitive parameters, such as verbal and visual memory, information processing speed, and regulatory functions (especially in men). Individuals with the Val/Val genotype demonstrated worse attention. Women in the Russian population with Met allele had better conceptualization and inhibitory control results, and men in the Han population with Met allele had a better association with memory and attention.

conclusionThe results of this review confirm the association between the rs4680 variant of the
