Visual Cortical Alterations and their Association with Negative Symptoms in Antipsychotic-Naïve First Episode Psychosis.
Article in Psychiatry research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Visual perceptual and processing deficits are common in schizophrenia and possibly point towards visual pathway alterations. However, no studies have examined visual cortical morphology in first-episode psychosis (FEP). In an antipsychotic-naïve FEP population, we investigated primary visual (V1), association area (V2), and motion perception (V5/MT) morphology compared to controls. We found reductions in the V1 and V2 areas, greater MT area and lower MT thickness in the FEP-schizophrenia group when compared to controls. Also, lower MT thickness was associated with worse negative symptoms. Our results shed light on this poorly studied area of visual cortex morphology in FEP.
