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

objectiveEarly intervention in psychosis is associated with favourable outcomes. We investigated whether loved ones' illness duration moderated caregiver outcomes following a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy-informed Family Intervention for psychosis (FIp).

methodsWe conducted a secondary analysis of measures of FIp participants' depression and anxiety symptoms, caregiver appraisals, expressed emotion and foundational psychotherapeutic competencies at pre-, post- and 4-month follow-up. Our primary aim was to evaluate whether duration of illness moderated participant outcomes.

resultsRelative to pre-intervention, all caregivers reported lower depression, anxiety and expressed emotion, as well as higher positive attitudes and mastery of cognitive behavioural skills, at post-intervention and 4-month follow-up. Outcomes were not moderated by their loved one's illness duration.

conclusionFamilies may benefit equally from FIp regardless of illness duration. Although we recommend that FIp are offered as early as possible, modifications for families with lengthier illness courses are not implicated by our findings.
