Using Intermediate Cognitive Endpoints to Facilitate Translational Research in Psychosis.
Article in Current opinion in behavioral sciences, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Recent advances in the understanding of psychosis have uncovered potential for a paradigm shift in related drug discovery efforts. The study of psychosis is evolving from its origins in serendipity and empiricism to more formal, hypothesis driven accounts of the cognitive substrates underlying hallucinations and delusions. Recent evidence suggests that misattribution of salience and abnormal prediction error might underlie some forms of psychosis. If substantiated, such intermediate constructs could significantly facilitate translational research for drug discovery. Aberrant salience and prediction error can be assayed with simple tests of associative learning in both species, and a convincing back translation of effects, when combined with measures of neurotransmitter release and brain activity could for the first time allow robust, causal connections to be made between molecular mechanisms in rodents and symptoms in patients.
