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
Objective: Decision-making capacity for treatment is impaired in schizophrenia but it remains unknown if schizophrenia affects distinct decision-making capacities differently. Methods: In this study, we assessed concomitantly two decision-making capacities (i.e., antipsychotic treatment and COVID-19 vaccination) in 27 schizophrenia patients. Sociodemographic variables, psychotic symptoms, global cognition and insight were also assessed. Results: We found that among individuals incompetent to consent to antipsychotic treatment, one-third had preserved capacity to consent to vaccination. No significant associations between the two different decision-making capacities were found. Psychotic symptoms and cognition were associated with the capacity to consent to antipsychotic treatment and to vaccination, respectively. Conclusion: Clinicians should be aware that capacity to consent to treatment is not unidimensional and vary across domains in individuals with schizophrenia. Being incompetent regarding one treatment does not mean to be incompetent for another treatment in this clinical population.
