An Examination of Intolerance of Uncertainty in Schizophrenia.

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
introductionSchizophrenia is associated with multiple comorbidities and symptoms, suggestive of common transdiagnostic processes. Elevated intolerance of uncertainty (IU) is one such transdiagnostic process, but little research has been conducted on IU in schizophrenia.
methodsThis study assessed the associations between IU, schizophrenia diagnosis and schizophrenia symptoms using a between-group cross-sectional design. The sample comprised 113 participants, 72 people with a schizophrenia diagnosis and 41 control participants without (73 male, 40 female, age range 19-69 [M = 42.1, SD = 13.0]). Measures of schizophrenia symptoms, IU, depression and anxiety symptoms, rumination, executive functioning and rumination were taken.
resultsSchizophrenia diagnosis was predicted by lower prospective IU and higher levels of inhibitory IU. Specifically, the prospective subscale was uniquely associated with general schizophrenia symptoms. Higher levels of positive symptoms were associated with higher prospective IU and lower inhibitory IU, however, not when anxiety and depressive symptoms, rumination and verbal fluency were controlled for. No unique associations were found with negative symptoms.
conclusionsDifferent directions of association between the subtypes of IU and schizophrenia diagnosis as well as distinct relationships between IU and symptom subtypes suggest that prospective and inhibitory IU have distinct associations with the disorder.
