Neurocognitive resilience as a predictor of psychosis onset and functional outcomes in individuals at high risk.
Article in BMC medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundNeurocognitive resilience (NCR) refers to the ability of individuals to maintain cognitive function despite the presence of risk factors for psychosis. Investigating NCR is important as it may help predict the onset of psychosis and functional outcomes in individuals at clinical high risk (CHR) for psychosis.
methodsThis study employed a multi-group prospective design with a 3-year follow-up as part of the ShangHai At Risk for Psychosis-Extended project. Neurocognitive performance was assessed using the Chinese version of the Measurement and Treatment Research to Improve Cognition in Schizophrenia Consensus Cognitive Battery. The study focused on two primary outcomes: conversion/non-conversion to psychosis (CHR-C/CHR-NC) and non-remission/remission (CHR-NR/CHR-R). NCR was defined based on the adjusted cognitive variable relative to the healthy control(HC) group's mean, with three categories: NCR (NCR = 0) for scores within one standard deviation, NCR + (NCR = 1) for scores more than one standard deviation above, and NCR - (NCR = - 1) for scores more than one standard deviation below.
resultsThe study included 771 individuals at CHR (346 males, mean age 18.8 years) and 764 HCs (359 males, mean age 22.5 years). Among the CHR participants, 540 (70.0%) completed the 3-year follow-up, with 106 (19.6%) converting to psychosis (CHR-C) and 277 (51.3%) classified as non-remission (CHR-NR). Significant negative correlations were found between the total NCR score and various clinical symptoms. Comparing CHR-C and non-converters (CHR-NC), there were notable differences in NCR distributions across four cognitive measures, with a higher proportion of CHR-C individuals categorized as NCR - . For CHR-NR versus remission (CHR-R), CHR-NR individuals were more likely to be classified as NCR - across nearly all cognitive domains. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve for predicting conversion to psychosis yielded an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.621 (95% CI (0.561-0.681), p = 0.0001), while the ROC for predicting non-remission demonstrated a higher AUC of 0.826 (95% CI (0.790-0.861), p < 0.0001).
conclusionsNCR was associated with both conversion to psychosis and non-remission outcomes in CHR individuals, showing notable predictive accuracy, particularly for non-remission.
