Psychiatric Diagnosis and the Pathologist's View of Schizophrenia.
Article in Psychiatry (Edgmont (Pa. : Township)), 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
A popular canard among critics of psychiatry is that psychiatric disorders are never listed in pathology textbooks. This erroneous claim is sometimes used to argue that some diseases such as schizophrenia are not "real" diseases, but merely metaphorical inventions of psychiatrists. In reality, many pathology and pathophysiology texts now recognize schizophrenia as bona fide disease, and physicians should resist attempts to marginalize psychiatry by those who claim otherwise. However, judgments concerning the "reality" of disease ought to be based on our everyday observations of suffering and incapacity, not on pronouncements in textbooks. Disease is properly predicated of persons, not of minds, bodies, tissues, or organs.
