The relationship between stress and clinical high-risk symptoms of psychosis in daily life: impact of contemporaneous paths on cross-lagged effects.

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
backgroundThis study aimed to deepen the understanding of the psychological mechanisms underlying the formation and maintenance of clinical high-risk symptoms for psychosis (CHR-P) in real-life contexts. Specifically, it examined whether (i) momentary feelings of stress increase the frequency of CHR-P symptoms, or conversely, (ii) CHR-P symptoms increase the intensity of stress. Additionally, potential moderators of the relationship between stress and CHR-P symptoms were explored.
methodsUsing Ecological Momentary Assessment, 79 patients (age: 11-36; 50.6% female) recruited from an early detection center for psychosis, reported their momentary stress levels and the frequency of CHR-P symptoms eight times a day for seven days. Time series data were analyzed using residual dynamic structural equation modeling in a random intercept cross-lagged panel design, comparing differently modeled contemporaneous effects.
resultsThere was no evidence of a contemporaneous or temporal link between stress on CHR-P symptoms. However, a contemporaneous effect of CHR-P symptoms on stress was found, while the corresponding temporal effect was not significant. The severity of interview-assessed CHR-P symptoms, age, and type of CHR-P symptoms (i.e., basic symptoms vs. [attenuated] positive symptoms) did not affect the contemporaneous effect of CHR-P symptoms on stress. However, nonperceptive symptoms had a greater contemporaneous effect on stress than perceptive symptoms.
conclusionsThe findings suggest a greater contemporaneous impact of CHR-P symptoms on stress than vice versa. The experience of nonperceptive symptoms, in particular, may alter the appraisal of stress in daily life and represent a target for early interventions in real-time daily life (i.e., ecological momentary interventions).
