The modular mind and psychiatry: toward clinical integration with a focus on self-disorders.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
One of the foundational tenets of evolutionary psychology, the modular view of the mind, offers promising applications for clinical psychiatry. This perspective conceptualizes the mind as a collection of specialized information-processing modules, shaped by natural selection to address adaptive challenges faced by our ancestors. In this paper, we propose several points of integration between the modularity framework and clinical psychiatric practice. First, we argue that the descriptive psychopathology of self-disorders provides evidence supporting the modular view, demonstrating how a dysfunctional minimal self may expose the mind's modular architecture to conscious awareness. Next, we will explore how the modular perspective can illuminate the nature of intrapsychic conflicts. Finally, we will discuss how evidence from neuropsychiatric syndromes supports the modular view of the mind and, in turn, how this perspective can provide a basis for classifying mental disorders.
