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

There is increasing interest in the pathophysiological role of arginine metabolism in schizophrenia, particularly in relation to the modulation of the endogenous messenger nitric oxide (NO). The assessment of specific arginine metabolites that, unlike NO, are stable can provide useful insights into NO regulatory enzymes such as isoform 1 of dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase (DDAH1) and arginase. We investigated the role of arginine metabolomics in schizophrenia by conducting a systematic review and meta-analysis of the circulating concentrations of arginine metabolites associated with DDAH1, arginase, and NO synthesis [arginine, citrulline, asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA), dimethylamine, and ornithine] in this patient group. We searched PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science from inception to the 31
