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

Genetic syndromes associated with deletions at chromosome 22q11 generally have been diagnosed during childhood based on a constellation of physical features. To investigate a reported association of velocardiofacial syndrome with psychotic disorders in adults, we assessed subjects with DSM-IV schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder who were referred with two or more syndromal features (palatal, cardiac, facial, or other congenital anomalies, and/or learning difficulties). We report on 10 subjects (5 men and 5 women), mean age 27.2 (SD 6.0) years, who were found to have a 22q11 deletion at locus D22S75 using fluorescence in-situ hybridization (FISH). The mean age at onset of psychosis was 19.6 (SD 4.6) years. Symptoms and course of the psychotic illnesses were unremarkable, but additional signs such as temper outbursts were common. These adult subjects had significantly fewer major palatal (P = .0001) and conotruncal cardiac (P = .05) anomalies but the same high rate of learning difficulties as a sample with deletion 22q11 ascertained through a pediatric clinic [Lindsay et al. (1995): Am J Med Genet 57:514-522]. Minor congenital features and rate of transmitted cases were similar to those previously reported. These results replicate the association of a 22q11 deletion syndrome with schizophrenia and confirm the importance of ascertainment in influencing the phenotype found. The findings support a developmental gene in the 22q11 deletion region causing a complex phenotype which may include significant behavioral components that emerge over time. We support using the term "22q11 deletion syndrome (22DS)," which would encompass physical and psychiatric features, and could also be applied to describe a genetic subtype of schizophrenia.
