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
backgroundLife skills are the basic skills that are needed to live independently and that support meaningful, productive roles. The negative symptoms and cognitive dysfunction seen in schizophrenia may lead to deterioration in the life skills of the patient. The assessment of current life skills of the patient and subsequent intervention becomes necessary for comprehensive rehabilitation of people with mental illness. This study attempted to assess the instrumental activities of daily living among people with schizophrenia in India.
methodsOne hundred consecutive patients with schizophrenia, between 18 and 60 years, who presented to a tertiary psychiatric facility were assessed using (i) Lawton instrumental activities of daily living scale (LIADL), (ii) positive and negative symptom scale (PANSS), (iii) pro forma for sociodemographic and clinical characteristics.
resultsThe majority of the patients were male, young adults, married, with secondary school education, middle socioeconomic status, from nuclear families, unemployed and were diagnosed to have paranoid schizophrenia. The reported IADL dysfunction included difficulties in handling medications (86%), preparing food (85%), shopping (78%), handling finances (61%), doing laundry (52%), housekeeping (47%), using public transport (32%), and using telephones (5%). The dysfunction documented differs from that reported in the west. Total PANSS score (
conclusionsIADL dysfunction, common in people with schizophrenia, demands detailed assessment, and tailored training to ensure optimum functioning.
