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

The biological mechanisms underlying major neuropsychiatric disorders remain largely elusive. Given the frequent association of immune dysregulation with these conditions, we used blood-derived multi-omics data from 1,274 healthy adolescents in the IMAGEN cohort to identify transdiagnostic biomarkers and mechanisms that could inform diagnosis and treatment. We first conducted genome-wide analyses to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with DNA methylation and gene expression, with findings replicated in external datasets. These quantitative trait loci were further explored through Mendelian randomization analyses across 6 neuropsychiatric disorders (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, autism spectrum disorder, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, schizophrenia and insomnia), leading to the identification of 73 putatively causal CpG sites and 62 genes that were either unique to individual disorders or, as in the case of
