The higher-order structure of early maladaptive schemas: A meta-analytical approach.

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
Background: Early maladaptive schemas (EMSs) are themes regarding oneself and one's relationship with others. In schema therapy, 18 EMSs are described that were initially proposed to be clustered in five domains. The current EMS model comprises four domains. However, empirical investigations into the grouping of EMSs have yielded divergent results. The purpose of the present study was to use a meta-analytical approach to examine the higher-order organization of EMSs. Methods: To be included in the statistical analyses, studies had to report the associations between all 18 EMSs using a form of the Young Schema Questionnaire. In a systematic literature review in PsycInfo, Embase, MEDLINE, Web of Science, and Google scholar, 27 studies were identified that reported the associations between EMSs in 33 independent samples ( Results: The CFA results showed weak support for any of the previously suggested EMS domains. After PCA, four EMS domains were retained that closely resembled the theoretically proposed organization of EMSs. The four components showed fair to good congruence in the clinical and non-clinical subsamples. However, a model with three EMS domains showed a simpler structure. Discussion: The results suggest a need for further theoretical and empirical clarification of the higher-order structure of EMSs. Systematic review registration: https://osf.io/57wyz.
