Relationships between smartphone social behavior and relapse in schizophrenia: A preliminary report.
Trial report in Schizophrenia research, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 54 papers, 4 of them syntheses 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
Social dysfunction is a hallmark of schizophrenia. Social isolation may increase individuals' risk for psychotic symptom exacerbation and relapse. Monitoring and timely detection of shifts in social functioning are hampered by the limitations of traditional clinic-based assessment strategies. Ubiquitous mobile technologies such as smartphones introduce new opportunities to capture objective digital indicators of social behavior. The goal of this study was to evaluate whether smartphone-collected digital measures of social behavior can provide early indication of relapse events among individuals with schizophrenia. Sixty-one individuals with schizophrenia with elevated risk for relapse were given smartphones with the CrossCheck behavioral sensing system for a year of remote monitoring. CrossCheck leveraged the device's microphone, call record, and text messaging log to capture digital socialization data. Relapse events including psychiatric hospitalizations, suicidal ideation, and significant psychiatric symptom exacerbations were recorded by trained assessors. Exploratory mixed effects models examined relationships of social behavior to relapse, finding that reductions in number and duration of outgoing calls, as well as number of text messages were associated with relapses. Number and duration of incoming phone calls and in-person conversations were not. Smartphone enabled social activity may provide an important metric in determining relapse risk in schizophrenia and provide access to sensitive, meaningful and ecologically valid data streams never before available in routine care.
