1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Despite the increased focus on non-clinical psychosis populations, no community surveys have properly investigated the phenotypal expression of Psychotic like experiences (PLEs) in the Arab-Muslim world. We aimed to examine the prevalence and correlates of PLEs in a large sample of Tunisian college students. A total of 1489 students (64.3% female, aged 18-40) participated in a cross-sectional survey. The Positive Subscale of Community Assessment of Psychotic Experiences was used to measure PLEs. The rates of PLEs found in our work were relatively high compared with those found in previous international studies, with 51.4% of the participants reporting at least one positive PLE 'nearly-always'. After controling for confounding variables, other drug use in the past year represented the only substance use variable among the significant predictors in the final model. Our findings should raise awareness of the need for implementing an early intervention programs in our region.
