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

objectiveRisk factors, emergence and accumulation of symptoms in the untreated early course were studied as a basis for understanding the relationship between schizophrenia and depression. MATERIALS AND

methods130 representative first admissions for schizophrenia were compared retrospectively with 130 individually matched first admissions for depressive episodes and with 130 healthy controls.

resultsOnsets of schizophrenia and severe depression were marked by depressive symptoms, followed by negative symptoms and functional impairment. This prodromal core syndrome became more prevalent as the disorders progressed, and it reappeared in psychotic relapses. Psychotic symptoms emerged late, indicating a different and more severe "disease pattern".

conclusionThe prevalence of depressive symptoms in the general population and at the prodromal stage of numerous mental disorders precipitated by various psychological and biological factors suggests that depression might be an expression of an inborn mild reaction pattern of the human brain. With progressing brain dysfunction more severe patterns like psychosis are expressed.
