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 expression of IgG and IgM autoantibodies directed against various autoantigens, either part of the central nervous system or not, was investigated in the sera of inpatients with schizophrenia (n = 10). An enzyme immunoassay was used to measure the levels of these autoantibodies in whole sera, IgG-depleted sera, and isolated IgG fractions. IgG and IgM antibodies, reacting with all the antigens tested, were present in the sera of patients with schizophrenia as well as in the sera of normal individuals. Among patients suffering from schizophrenia, IgM natural autoantibody reactivities could be higher (myoglobin, serotonin, tubulin), lower (dopamine), or even identical to those of normal individuals, depending on whether whole or fractionated sera were assayed and on the group of patients with schizophrenia (responders and nonresponders) considered. The isolated IgG fractions of patients suffering from schizophrenia had higher anti-DNA and antiserotonin reactivities than those detected in normal individuals.
