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

introductionPrior research has identified a link between discrimination and psychotic symptoms in community samples, yet less is known about potential protective factors particularly in the context of clinical samples of psychotic illness. The goal of this exploratory study was to examine the relationship between ethnoracial discrimination and symptom severity among U.S. Latinx people experiencing their first episode of psychosis (FEP). We were particularly interested in whether family support quality buffered the negative relationship between discrimination and symptomatology.

methodsData were taken from a longitudinal parent study assessing the effectiveness of a communication campaign on reducing duration of untreated illness among U.S. Latinx communities with FEP. A total of 43 participants with FEP were administered the study measures for the present study at baseline, including self-report survey on perceived discrimination, the Positive and Negative Symptoms Scale clinical interview, and a qualitative interview measuring family support, which was analyzed using deductive methods. Independent samples t-tests and multiple linear regression analyses were conducted.

resultsEndorsement of ethnoracial discrimination was associated with greater positive and general symptoms, but not negative symptoms. Among those endorsing ethnoracial discrimination, family support buffered the association with negative and general symptoms, but not positive symptoms.

conclusionFamily support could be a relevant mechanism to target the negative symptoms of psychosis and general psychopathology among Latinx people with FEP, particularly in the context of racialized stressors.
