Diminished emotion expressivity but not experience in men and women with schizophrenia.
Article in Journal of abnormal psychology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Prior studies indicate that men with schizophrenia are less outwardly expressive but report similar emotion experience as healthy people. However, it is unclear whether women with schizophrenia show this same disconnect between expressivity and experience. Men (n = 24) and women (n = 25) with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder and women without schizophrenia (n = 25) viewed emotionally evocative film clips and were video recorded to assess facial expressivity. Participants also reported their emotion experience after each clip. Men and women with schizophrenia did not significantly differ from one another in the frequency of facial expressions, but both groups exhibited fewer expressions than women without schizophrenia. People with schizophrenia also reported lower levels of trait expressivity compared with women without schizophrenia. Overall, people with schizophrenia did not differ from controls on self-reported emotion experience with one exception: Women with schizophrenia reported more unpleasant emotion than controls. These results indicate that both women and men with schizophrenia exhibit fewer outward expressions but experience comparable emotion experience as people without schizophrenia.
