Associations of inflammatory biomarkers with brain atrophy and clinical scores in schizophrenia patients with autistic features.
Article in BMC research notes, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectivesThis study explored the schizophrenia patients with autistic traits by analyzing clinical characteristics, inflammatory biomarkers and brain atrophy.
resultsMultiple regression analysis indicated significant associations. Positive symptom scores were linked to higher platelet count, elevated platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio, greater minimum width of the anterior horn of the lateral ventricle, higher Evans index, and male sex. Negative symptom scores correlated positively with older age, higher body mass index, wider third ventricle, higher neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, and male sex. General psychopathology scores rose with older age and greater minimum ventricular width, as did total the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) scores. The PANSS Autism Severity Score increased with higher neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, greater ventricular widths (minimum anterior horn and third ventricle), older age, larger maximum external cranial diameter, and higher Evans index.
