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

DNA methylation analysis at the genome-wide level is a useful tool to explore potential sex differences in SCZ patients. The primary aim of the current study was to identify differentially methylated regions of DNA between males and females with schizophrenia. We collected DNA samples from 134 schizophrenia patients to measure genome-wide methylation at single-base resolution in 96 males and 38 females. We further repeated the analysis in 13 subjects (9 females, 4 males) to confirm the sex differences and to reduce the effect of potential confounders. The longitudinal methylation analysis found significant replication of several genes across the genome. These genes included RFTN1, TLE1, DAZL, PRR4, UTP14C, RNU12, and LOC644649. The overall results showed robust association between autosomal CpG sites and sex. Longitudinal methylation analysis can be used as internal replication to confirm epigenetic variants that are stable over time.
