Quality of life and illness beliefs in individuals with early psychosis.
Article in Social psychiatry and psychiatric epidemiology, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
purposeQuality of life (QoL) has become an important outcome measure in early psychosis. This study examined associations between illness beliefs (how individuals perceive their mental health problems), symptom factors and QoL in an early psychosis population.
methodsEighty-one individuals with early psychosis completed a battery of questionnaires measuring QoL, illness perceptions, psychotic and affective symptoms.
resultsQoL was significantly associated with certain illness beliefs, namely treatment control and consequences of psychosis. Lower levels of QoL were associated with higher depression, anxiety and general psychopathology. QoL was found to be predicted by key illness beliefs.
conclusionsCausality has not been fully established, but these results suggest that beliefs about mental health problems may have a direct impact on outcome, and point towards possible targets for intervention, such as challenging illness-related appraisals. This is consistent with both general cognitive models of psychosis, and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for this client group.
