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

objectiveThis study investigated the perspectives of clients in early psychosis intervention programmes regarding the types, quality and relevance of information they desire and receive, particularly related to intimacy, romance and sexuality.

methodsParticipants (N = 35) rated the degree to which they desired and received information on topics related to treatment and recovery, as well as the quality and importance of that information.

resultsBetween 25% and 50% of participants desired information on friendships, sexual functioning, sexual desire, sexual risk factors and romantic relationships. Less than half of participants who wanted information on romantic relationships, friendships, sexual desire and sexual functioning received this information. When this information was provided, however, participants reported it to be of high quality.

conclusionsFindings demonstrate that intimacy, romance and sexuality remain areas of need that are relevant to recovery for people with psychosis, yet they continue to be insufficiently addressed in healthcare settings.
