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

Molecular genetics is helping define the contribution of genetic involvement in behavioral disorders. At this time, however, a severely limiting factor for DNA linkage studies of these disorders remains the definition of the phenotype. An example of this is found in the group of studies examining linkage of schizophrenia to the 5q location. Although various broad clinical interpretations of the schizophrenia phenotype were used to test for linkage, all but one study reported findings negative for linkage of schizophrenia to the 5q area. We offer a strategy based on family studies using segregation data of behavioral subtypes. We apply this strategy using molecular genetic technology to our study of psychopathology in patients. This approach offers the possibility of a clearer definition of the phenotype and is suggested for use in both linkage and association studies of neuropsychiatric disorders.
