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
purposeUnderstanding the experienced and anticipated discrimination of people living with schizophrenia (PLS) in China is the cornerstone of culturally informed intervention. This study aims to describe the pattern of experienced and anticipated discrimination against PLS in China and investigate which social and illness characteristics are associated with discrimination.
methodsPLS dwelling in community were randomly recruited from four cities across China and completed measures of experienced and anticipated discrimination by discrimination and stigma scale (version 12; DISC-12). Multivariable regression was used to analyses the correlates of experienced and anticipated discrimination.
resultsA total of 787 participants (54.0% were female) were included in the analysis. 38% of participants reported experienced discrimination and 71.4% reported anticipated discrimination. The most common experienced discrimination for PLS in China were from neighborhood, making/keeping friends, finding/keeping a job, and family. 59.3% of participants had concealed their mental illness. Living in rural areas, household poverty, longer illness duration, severer symptoms and higher level of disability were associated with more experienced discrimination. Younger ages, unemployment, higher level of disability and experienced discrimination were associated with more anticipated discrimination.
conclusionMore than a third of PLS in China have experienced discrimination in their lives. Economically disadvantage PLS and PLS living in rural setting may experience more discrimination in China. New and culturally informed intervention approaches are needed to prevent and reduce discrimination of schizophrenia.
