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
Background Acute and transient psychotic disorders (ATPD) have been a diagnostic enigma due to their fleeting nature. While classified in various systems, discrepancies continue between the WHO's International Classification of Diseases, 10th Edition (ICD-10), International Classification of Diseases, 11th Edition (ICD-11), and Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5). Research on ATPD, especially in developing countries like India, is scarce, leading to uncertainty about their prevalence and diagnostic stability. Aim and objective This study aims to investigate the stability of ATPD diagnoses over a period of one year in an Indian context. Methods A retrospective study conducted at a tertiary care center examined the diagnostic stability of ATPD. Fifty-four patients diagnosed with ATPD between January and June 2022 were identified from outpatient records. Their medical history, including age, sex, symptom onset, duration, stressors, and family history, was analyzed. Additionally, follow-up diagnoses at six months and one year were assessed to determine how often the initial ATPD diagnosis changed. Data analysis employed tools like Microsoft Excel (Microsoft Corporation, Redmond, Washington, United States) and IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 26.0 (Released 2019; IBM Corp., Armonk, New York, United States). Results Most patients diagnosed with ATPD were young women. Initially, at six months, the diagnostic stability was 59.25%, but this dropped to 40.74% after a year which was significant with a p-value of 0.031. Schizophrenia became the main alternative diagnosis, with bipolar disorder also increasing significantly over time. Conclusions While results showed higher initial stability than reported in developed countries, this stability significantly decreased within a year. Diagnostic shifts primarily led to schizophrenia or bipolar affective disorder. These findings suggest long-term follow-up is crucial for accurate prognosis and underscores the need for further research with larger samples and improved designs to refine diagnostic practices for ATPD.
