Assessment of Social Functioning in Patients With Schizophrenia and Their First-Degree Relatives.

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.
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
Background: Impaired social functioning is one of the core symptoms of schizophrenia (SCZ). Genetic factors have also been implicated in SCZ. To contribute to the discussion on the involvement of genetic factors in SCZ, we evaluated the social functioning of first-degree relatives (FR) of patients with SCZ. Methods: This was a non-interventional observational study. We examined social functioning using the Japanese version of the Social Functioning Scale (SFS-J) in three groups: SCZ, SCZ FR, and healthy controls (HC). The effects of the groups (SCZ, FR, and HC) on social functioning were evaluated using analysis of covariance. In addition, the cutoff value for SCZ in the SFS total score was calculated, and the trend in the proportion of individuals below the cutoff value in each group was evaluated. Results: Data from 256 subjects (SCZ (n = 44), FR (n = 26), and HC (n = 186)) were analyzed. Group, years of education, intelligence quotient (IQ), and sex were found to be significant factors affecting SFS total scores. The proportion of SFS scores < 140 (the cutoff value for SCZ) was 9.1% in HC, 57.7% in FR, and 95.4% in SCZ, showing a continuous increase in the proportion of SFS scores < 140 across the three groups (P < 0.0001). Conclusions: In social functioning assessed by SFS, the score for FR was intermediate between those of SCZ and HC. The results of this study suggest that genetic factors may influence social functioning scores in SCZ and FR.
