Dispersion of cognitive performance test scores on the MATRICS Consensus Cognitive Battery: A different perspective.
Article in Schizophrenia research. Cognition, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02431702 (A Prospective, Matched-Control, Randomized, Open-Label, Flexible-Dose, Study in Subjects With Recent-Onset Schizophrenia or Schizophreniform Disorder to Compare Disease Progression and Disease Modification Following Treatment With Paliperidone Palmitate Long-Acting Injection or Oral Antipsychotics), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
Objective: Persons with schizophrenia exhibit greater neurocognitive test score dispersion. Here, we seek to characterize dispersion on the Neurocognitive Composite subtests of the Measurement of Treatment Research to Improve Cognition in Schizophrena Consensus Cognitive Battery (MCCB) and determine the relative effects of different antipsychotic formulations on dispersion and mean performance. Method: In this post hoc analysis of the DREaM study (NCT02431702), which compared treatment with paliperidone palmitate (PP) long-acting injectable with oral antipsychotic (OAP) treatment over 18 months, dispersion in MCCB neurocognitive subtest performance was calculated for each participant by visit (test occasion). Results: Over 18 months, mean neurocognitive performance improved in a manner consistent with the expected effects of practice in both groups ( Conclusion: Dispersion of neurocognitive test scores provides a different index of cognitive change than that provided by composite scores. Long-term maintenance of therapeutic levels provided by PP over time may limit (relative to oral AP) the extent to which cognitive performance becomes more variable.
