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

backgroundChildren and adolescents with early-onset psychosis (EOP) have more rare genetic variants than individuals with adult-onset forms of the illness, implying that fewer EOP participants are needed for genetic discovery. The Schizophrenia Exome Sequencing Meta-analysis (SCHEMA) study predicted that 10 genes with ultra-rare variation were linked to adult-onset schizophrenia. We hypothesized that rare variants predicted "High" and "Moderate" by the Variant Effect Predictor Algorithm (abbreviated as VEPHMI) in these 10 genes would be enriched in our EOP cohort.

methodsWe compared rare VEPHMI variants in individuals with EOP (N = 34) with race- and sex-matched controls (N = 34) using the sequence kernel association test (SKAT).
