Meta-analyses of association studies between the blood homocysteine levels and schizophrenia. (A) The result of the meta-analysis of 12 male association studies (N = 2638). The blood homocysteine levels were significantly higher in male patients with schizophrenia than in the male controls (standardized mean difference [SMD] = 0.76; 95% CI = 0.30–1.22; P = 1.2×10–3 in the random-effects model). (B) The result of the meta-analysis of 10 female association studies (N = 2076). The blood homocysteine levels were significantly higher in female patients with schizophrenia than in the female controls (SMD = 0.50; 95% CI = 0.31–0.70; P = 5.9×10–7 in the random-effects model).
