1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

aimCognitive disturbances typically precede the onset of overt psychotic symptoms and represent a neurobiological marker for psychosis risk that is also associated with poor functional outcomes. The Measure of Insight into Cognition-Self Report (MIC-SR) is a widely used 12-item questionnaire that assesses the perceived frequency of cognitive impairment in the domains of executing functioning, attention, and memory. However, the MIC-SR is not available in Spanish, one of the most widely spoken languages worldwide. The present study aimed to provide a Spanish version of the MIC-SR and examine its psychometric properties in psychosis-risk and non-clinical Mexican young adults.

methodsThe sample comprised 621 participants who completed a battery of self-report measures via an online survey. Of the participants, 478 were non-clinical, and 143 met the screening criteria for a clinical high-risk for psychosis (CHR-positive).

resultsConfirmatory Factor Analyses supported a one-factor model, consistent with the findings for the original MIC-SR. The results showed adequate fit indices for the general model and the independent models for both groups, with high Cronbach's alpha coefficients. Furthermore, the CHR-positive group showed more frequent subjective cognitive problems on each of the 12 items, higher total scores, and higher average frequency than the non-clinical group.

conclusionTo our knowledge, this is the first translation of the MIC-SR into Spanish. Using the MIC-SR at the CHR stage may contribute to our understanding of cognitive processes associated with the onset of a psychotic disorder and provide valuable information in the context of detection and early intervention efforts.
