Working Memory in People with Schizophrenia.
Article in Current topics in behavioral neurosciences, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
Working memory (WM) refers to the ability to maintain a small number of representations in an activated, easily accessible state for a short period of time in the service of ongoing cognitive processing and behavior. Because WM is a resource critical for multiple forms of complex cognition and executive control of behavior, it is of central interest in the study of disorders such as schizophrenia that involve a broad compromise of cognitive function and in the regulation of goal-directed behavior. There is now robust evidence that WM impairment is characteristic of people with schizophrenia. The impairment includes both elementary storage capacity as well as more complex forms of WM that involve the manipulation and updating of WM representations. These impairments appear to underlie a substantial portion of the generalized cognitive deficit in schizophrenia. Neuroimaging studies have implicated widespread abnormalities in the broad neural system that subserves WM performance, consistent with the evidence of broad cognitive impairment seen in PSZ.
