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

backgroundSchizophrenia (SCZ) shows marked biological heterogeneity, with negative symptoms linked to poor outcomes and hypothesised immune dysregulation. This study examined whether a peripheral cytokine-long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) panel could distinguish patients with SCZ and Brief Negative Symptom Scale (BNSS)-defined subgroups from healthy controls (HC).

methodsForty-one hospitalised patients with SCZ completed the BNSS and the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS). Twenty HCs, frequency-matched for age and sex, served as comparison samples. Severe negative-symptom subgroups were defined using two BNSS criteria: a broader (SNS1) and a more restrictive (SNS2) threshold. Serum cytokines - interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-10 (IL-10) - and leukocyte lncRNAs (
