Exercise as an Adjuvant Treatment of Schizophrenia: A Review.
Review in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Schizophrenia is a chronic debilitating condition associated with impaired social functioning, memory, and executive functioning. To date, we are still unsure about the exact etiology of schizophrenia, but there are many factors, such as genetics, diminished hippocampal volume, and imbalance of neurotransmitters, that lead to the pathogenies of the disease. Antipsychotics are the most effective treatment option for schizophrenia so far, yet they are associated with a wide array of side effects, ranging from extrapyramidal side effects to conditions, such as metabolic syndrome. Exercise has been shown to increase neural connections in the brain, which can improve cognition and memory. This literature review focuses on the signs and symptoms of schizophrenia, its treatment options, and how exercise can help with some of the symptoms of schizophrenia, especially the negative symptoms that are least effectively treated by antipsychotics.
