The impact of early detection (ED) campaigns on care presentations: Beyond DUP reduction.
Article in Schizophrenia research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
We examined the effects of an early detection (ED) campaign (Mindmap), that successfully shortened the duration of untreated psychosis (DUP), on patient presentation profiles at two receiving coordinated specialty care (CSC) services. Data were collected between 2015 and 2019 during a test of ED delivered at one CSC (STEP, n = 147) compared to usual detection at another CSC (PREP, n = 63). Regression models were used to test the effects of ED and DUP on presentation. Before the launch of ED, there were no differences in presentation between STEP and PREP. However, the ED changed the profile of presentations to STEP such that patients were admitted with better negative and total symptoms scores, but worse GAF current and GAF social and with a greater decline in function over the prior year (GAF-Δ). Site-by-time interaction effects were not significant. During the campaign years, STEP vs. PREP recruited patients with better negative and total symptoms, GAF role, and pre-morbid adjustment scores but with worse positive symptoms, GAF current, and GAF-Δ. Nonetheless, mediation analysis revealed that DUP reduction accounted for very little (<8 %) of these differences in presentation. Early detection campaigns while successfully reducing access delays, can have salutary effects on presentation independent of DUP reduction.
