Developmental changes in the endorsement of psychotic-like experiences from middle childhood through young adulthood.
Observational study in Journal of psychiatric 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
backgroundChildren tend to endorse psychotic-like experiences (PLEs) at higher rates than adults, although little is known about how specific symptom endorsement changes across the span of development. Here we take an observational approach to examine trends in PLE endorsement by age in two non-clinical samples: one of school-aged children and another of late adolescents and early adults.
methodsProdromal Questionnaire-Brief (child and adult versions) responses were investigated in individuals ages 9-13 (n = 11865) and 16-24 (n = 3209) from the Adolescent Brain and Cognitive Development Study (ABCD) and the Multisite Assessment of Psychosis-risk Study (MAP), respectively. Item-level endorsement and distressing item frequencies were examined by age throughout both cohorts.
resultsUnusual perceptual experiences were generally endorsed more heavily in childhood, while other PLEs were endorsed in adolescents and adults up to 4.8 times more frequently than in children. Additionally, certain experiences were endorsed by as many as 73 percent of the older sample.
conclusionsConsiderations for the measurement of PLEs in childhood and adolescence are underscored. Findings from these two samples provide a window into the course of these PLEs and may serve as a scaffold for future research investigating normative versus risk-related experiences during development.
