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

Patients with psychotic illnesses, including early onset psychosis (EOP), often experience cognitive impairment. The cerebellum is critically involved in neurocognitive processes, yet possible regional alterations in the cerebellum and their associations with behavioral parameters remain largely unexplored in EOP. In this preliminary study, we aimed to investigate structural morphological properties of the cerebellum as well as the supratentorial brain, and how morphological changes in the central nervous system relate to neurocognitive performance in children with EOP and clinical high-risk for psychosis (CHR). We performed whole-brain structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and voxel-based morphological analyses in children with EOP (N = 15), children with CHR (N = 11), and healthy controls (Con, N = 13). An auditory event-related potential (ERP) task to elicit a P300 response was also completed by a subset of children (N = 29) as a measure of neurocognitive functioning. Linear regression analyses were performed to explore relationships between cerebellar volume, cortical thickness, and P300 amplitudes. Volumetric reductions (Con > CHR > EOP) in bilateral Crus I, Crus II, lobule VI and VIIIa, left VIIIb, and right lobules V and IX of the cerebellum were observed (p < 0.05). This downward trend across study cohorts was also evident for rostral middle frontal cortical (RMFC) thickness, and for centroparietal P300 amplitudes. Significant positive correlations among P300 amplitudes and cerebellar volumes were observed (p < 0.05). Significant correlations between P300 amplitudes and RMFC thickness were not present. Robust morphological disruptions in cerebellar subdivisions and frontal subdivisions were quantified in children with EOP. Structural abnormalities in these regions, particularly in the cerebellum, may signify broader brain network disruptions, potentially contributing to neurocognitive dysfunction in EOP.
