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 functioning is diminished among people early in the course of psychotic illnesses, and is likely influenced by the negative symptoms that accompany these disorders, including changes in motivation and experience of pleasure. Though social impairments have a deleterious impact on functioning, socialization is a multifaceted behavior and little is known about how the various aspects may influence social functioning and social quality of life among people with first-episode psychosis. In the present study, we investigated the associations of specific aspects of social motivation and behavior with social functioning and social quality of life in a group of 54 young people (aged 15 to 35) with first-episode psychosis. Though different aspects of social motivation and behavior correlated positively with one another, social motivation for peer interactions was uniquely associated with social functioning and social quality of life - including when a broad measure of negative symptoms was considered within the same model. When these same associations were examined longitudinally, social motivation for peer interactions again emerged as a unique predictor of change in social functioning over 6 months. Our results suggest that the unique contribution of aspects of social motivation has implications for treatment, including the importance of developmentally-informed interventions to improve peer socialization in youth and young adults with psychosis.
