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

Suicide is a major public health concern and cause of death worldwide. While progress has been made in understanding molecular pathways involved in suicide, much more work is needed to identify clinically useful biomarkers of suicidality. Disturbed cellular proteostasis and aggregation of specific misfolded proteins are established pathological factors of neurodegenerative diseases. Increasing evidence also suggests that such aggregates often occur in patients with chronic mental illnesses. Recently, genes related to disturbed proteostasis showed differential methylation in individuals who died by suicide compared to controls. These include five genes encoding proteins that aggregate in neurodegenerative and/or mental illness:
