Quality of life in psychosis: prevalence and associated factors in a Nigerian clinical population.
Article in Community mental health journal, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Aim of the study was to assess sociodemographic and clinical determinants of quality of life in psychotic patients in a general hospital population in Nigeria. Information was obtained on demography, duration of untreated illness (DUI) and functioning among Schizophrenia (368), schizoaffective disorder (70), and 214 patients with affective psychosis. Functioning was assessed using GAF, severity of psychopathology with PANSS and quality of life using WHOQoL-BREF. In general, the differences in the QoL across the three psychotic disorders were small. Linear regression analysis, showed that high GAF p < 0.001, medication adherence, p = 0.007 were associated with good QoL in schizophrenia, low PANSS p < 0.001 and short DUI p = 0.001 in schizoaffective disorder and low PANSS, high GAF p < 0.001 respectively in affective psychosis. QoL and its determinants in psychosis are not absolutely different. More research is required in this area.
