Psychiatric antecedents in young patients with first episode psychosis: what relevance for clinical outcomes?
Article in European archives of psychiatry and clinical neuroscience, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Examining psychiatric antecedents and help-seeking behavior for people with First Episode Psychosis (FEP) could help understand determinants for timely care pathways, decrease the "Duration of Untreated Psychosis" (DUP), and consequently improve their prognosis. The aims of this study were: (1) to calculate the proportion of FEP participants with previous contact with mental healthcare services recruited within a specialized "Early Intervention in Psychosis" service, and (2) to longitudinally compare sociodemographic, clinical, and treatment parameters between FEP patients with and without psychiatric antecedents across a 2-year follow-up period. All participants (aged 12-35 years) were enrolled within the "Parma Early Psychosis" (Pr-EP) program. At baseline, they completed the Health of the Nation Outcome Scale (HoNOS). A mixed-design ANOVA and a Kaplan-Meier survival analysis were used. Of the 489 FEP participants, 204 (41.7%) patients had prior contact with mental health services. In 83% of cases, a care discontinuity was observed. Main psychiatric antecedents at entry were personality disorders (32.8%), anxious-depressive disorder (28.9%), conduct disorder (16.2%), and learning disorder (9.8%). FEP subjects with antecedents were more likely to receive a diagnosis of schizophrenia at baseline. Having previous contact with psychiatric services resulted to be a predictor of poorer clinical and functional outcome. It is very important to carefully monitor mental health suffering and related help-seeking-behavior in young patients typically manifested in their early 20s, especially in terms of psychosis prevention. Particular attention should also be given to service engagement as care continuity within adolescent-adult transition.
