The Measurement of Cognitive Schemas: Validation of the Psychological Distance Scaling Task in a Community Mental Health Sample.
Article in International journal of cognitive therapy, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04752449 (Virtual Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Psychosis), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
objectiveThe purpose of this study was to examine the validity of the Psychological Distance Scaling Task (PDST), a measure of cognitive schema organization, in a community mental health setting. We also compared validity among African Americans and Caucasians.
methodIn order to accommodate participants with low education levels, 26 out of 80 PDST word stimuli were replaced with similar words at a lower reading level. A sample of 466 (42% African American; 50% Caucasian; 8% other) community patients with major depressive disorder completed the PDST and a variety of depressive symptom measures.
resultsThe modified PDST demonstrated acceptable validity within all subscales. Validity coefficients resembled those reported in prior studies and were similar within minority and non-minority subsamples.
conclusionsThe modified PDST appears to be a valid measure of schema organization in a low-income, racially diverse population seeking treatment for depression at community clinics.
