A comparative study of health locus of control in patients with schizophrenia and their first degree relatives.
Article in Asian journal of psychiatry, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
BACKGROUND AND
aimsAn individual's behaviour may be predicted from their beliefs about their locus of control (attribution). A person's "locus" can be internal or external. The present study aimed at comparing the locus of control as measured by Multidimensional Health Locus of Control Scale (MHLC) in patients with schizophrenia and their healthy first degree relatives. We hypothesized that persons with schizophrenia have different locus of control than their first degree relatives.
methodMultidimensional Health Locus of Control Scale (MHLC) was first translated and validated in Hindi by bilingual students (N = 71). Consecutive patients affected with schizophrenia (SZ) (N = 125) and their siblings/offsprings (N = 119) were recruited. Diagnostic Interview for Genetic Studies and MHLC Scale were administered after written informed consent.
resultsThere was moderate intra-class correlation between Hindi and English versions of MHLC Scale. Schizophrenia patients were found to have more of 'chance' locus of control (F 6.625, p = 0.011) whereas their first degree relatives have more of 'internal' locus of control (F 6.760, p = 0.010).
conclusionPatients with SZ attributed their health to external factors which has been found to be associated with poor or late recovery. These findings may provide a theoretical base for developing intervention strategies to promote behavioural changes in patients.
