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

Objective: To investigate the correlation between serum Klotho levels and cognitive function in individuals with chronic Schizophrenia (SZ). Methods: A total of 108 patients diagnosed with chronic SZ and 83 age-matched healthy controls were recruited from four psychiatric specialist hospitals in Lianyungang from January to December 2024. Serum Klotho levels were measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Psychopathology and cognitive function were assessed using the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale and the Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS), respectively. Kendall's tau-b correlation analyses were conducted to assess the associations between serum Klotho levels and cognitive function. Results: Compared with healthy controls, patients with SZ had significantly lower serum Klotho levels (233.61 ± 50.35 pg/mL Conclusion: Patients with chronic SZ have lower serum Klotho levels and show cognitive impairment, and Klotho levels are specifically associated with immediate memory in this population.
