Sex-specific associations between 10-year cardiovascular risk, clinical symptoms and cognitive impairments in schizophrenia.
Article in Journal of neural transmission (Vienna, Austria : 1996), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
backgroundSchizophrenia (SCZ) shortens life expectancy, with cardiovascular disease (CVD) as the leading cause of death. The links between psychiatric symptoms, cognitive function and CVD are unclear, and sex differences in this relationship are understudied. This study examined the relationship between clinical characteristics and 10-year cardiovascular risk in males and females with SCZ.
methodsThis study included 802 patients with chronic SCZ. Fasting venous blood samples were collected from all patients to measure relevant glycolipid metabolic indices. The Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) was used to assess psychiatric symptoms. Cognitive function was evaluated using the Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS). The Framingham risk score (FRS) was used to estimate the 10-year CVD risk.
resultsThe mean 10-year cardiovascular risk for all patients was 11.76 ± 8.99%. Among patients with SCZ, 52.8% exhibited an intermediate-high 10-year cardiovascular risk. Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that FRS increased with higher body mass index, blood pressure, glucose, total cholesterol and triglyceride levels, while it was inversely related to high density lipoprotein levels. The general psychopathological scores were negatively associated with FRS (male: B = - 0.086, P = 0.013; female: B = - 0.056, P = 0.039). Negative symptom (B = - 0.088, P = 0.024) and total PANSS scores (B = - 0.042, P = 0.013) showed a negative association with FRS only in males. Additionally, in patients over 60 years old, general psychopathology (B = - 0.168, P = 0.001) and PANSS total scores (B = - 0.057, P = 0.041) were associated with reduced FRS, while immediate memory (B = 0.073, P = 0.025) was associated with higher FRS.
conclusionPatients with SCZ have an elevated risk of developing CVD, with males showing a higher 10-year cardiovascular risk than females. Significant sex differences exist in the relationship between the FRS and psychiatric symptoms, with negative symptoms being negatively related to FRS only in males.
