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

This study aimed to examine longitudinal changes in motor dexterity (MD) performance in first episode of psychosis (FEP), focusing on diagnosis-specific trajectories. Participants were recruited from the project PAFIP in Spain (134 FEP, 84 HC). MD was assessed using the Grooved Pegboard Test at baseline and at 10-year follow-up. Clinical and premorbid data were collected for the patients. FEP participants were classified as having schizophrenia (SCZ) or other psychosis (OP) and compared with a group of healthy controls (HC). MD correlated significantly with age and intelligence in all participants. MD in SCZ patients was additionally correlated with premorbid adjustment and negative symptoms, whereas in the OP group the association was with antipsychotic dose. SCZ patients showed a slight decline in MD at follow-up, whereas the OP and HC groups remained stable. There may be different long-term trajectories of MD across diagnoses in FEP patients. Early developmental factors such as premorbid adaptation and cognitive function, together with age-related changes, may influence a mild decline in MD specifically in schizophrenia.
