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

introductionOlanzapine (OLA) is one of the most commonly used second-generation antipsychotics for the treatment of schizophrenia. However, the heterogeneity of therapeutic response to OLA among schizophrenia patients deserves further exploration. The role of carnitine in the clinical response to OLA monotherapy remains unclear.

objectivesThe current study was designed to investigate whether carnitine and its derivatives are linked to the response to OLA treatment. Drug-naïve first-episode patients with schizophrenia were recruited and treated with OLA for 4 weeks. Psychiatric symptoms were assessed using the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) in pre and post treatment.

resultsAfter treatment, we found a significant decrease in 2-Octenoylcarnitine levels and a significant increase in linoelaidyl carnitine, 11Z-Octadecenylcarnitine and 9-Decenoylcarnitine levels. Furthermore, baseline linoelaidyl carnitine levels were correlated with the reduction of PANSS positive symptom subscore. Linear regression and logistic regression analyses found that the baseline linoelaidyl carnitine level was a predictive marker for the therapeutic response to OLA monotherapy for 4 weeks.

conclusionOur pilot study suggests that linoelaidyl carnitine levels at baseline may have a predictive role for the improvement of positive symptoms after OLA monotherapy in the patients with schizophrenia.
