Defining treatment as usual for attenuated psychosis syndrome: a survey of community practitioners.
Article in Psychiatric services (Washington, D.C.), 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveSchizophrenia and related disorders are often preceded by attenuated psychosis symptoms, sometimes referred to as attenuated psychosis syndrome, but little is known about practitioners' current practices with regard to this population. This survey of clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, and general practitioners explored treatment as usual of attenuated psychosis syndrome.
methodsIn 2008, a total of 1,500 practitioners were mailed surveys containing vignettes describing individuals with full, attenuated, and no psychotic symptoms and a checklist of possible interventions. Practitioners were asked to select interventions that would help or harm the individual.
resultsThe responses (N=293, 20%) suggested that practitioners treated attenuated psychosis syndrome similarly to full-threshold psychosis. The use of antipsychotic medications to treat attenuated symptoms was endorsed by 69% of practitioners. Family support groups and family involvement were endorsed by 58% and 49% of respondents, respectively.
conclusionsFurther development and dissemination of practice guidelines may help providers treat attenuated psychosis syndrome.
