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
aimsThe study aims are to present the Italian adaptation of the Abbreviated Clinical Structured Interview for DSM-5 Attenuated Psychosis Syndrome (Mini-SIPS) and illustrate its implementation in a clinical setting.
methodsThe Mini-SIPS was developed from the original extended version as a tool designed to identify, within the clinical high risk (CHR) framework, the DSM-5 Attenuated Psychosis Syndrome (APS) and to be implemented in clinical settings. The Mini-SIPS was translated in Italian by a Yale-certified SIPS trainer, then back-translated in English by a trained psychologist, then approved by the Mini-SIPS authors. Since September 2021, the adapted Italian version of the Mini-SIPS has been implemented at the First Episode Psychosis (FEP) Program in Ferrara, Italy.
resultsThe Italian version of Mini-SIPS was successfully administered to 15 individuals subsequently referred to the First Episode Psychosis service in Ferrara. Within this sample, the tool has proven to be both an effective and efficient tool for the identification of CHR and FEP, and a valid instrument to help with the differential diagnosis. It also performed as a valuable guide for retrieving information about psychiatric history, to date the onset of APS and/or full-blown psychosis, to track the progression from CHR to psychosis or to symptoms resolution and to describe patients' pathways to care.
conclusionThe Mini-SIPS is an efficient and easy-to-use interview to identify the early stages of psychosis and established psychosis in clinical contexts. The Italian adaptation of this interview could be effectively implemented in other Italian FEP Programs as a screening and monitoring tool. Formal validation of the instrument is needed to assessed validity and reliability in the diagnosis of the CHR and FEP.
