Social Functioning Interventions in Psychosis: A Systematic Review.
Synthesis in Clinical psychology & psychotherapy. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectiveA decline in social functioning is a hallmark of psychosis and is evident across the psychosis continuum. However, no study to date has summarised the existing evidence base regarding social functioning interventions in psychosis, nor have they synthesised the factors associated with high or low social functioning in psychosis.
methodA systematic review was conducted to summarise the extant literature regarding social functioning interventions in psychosis.
resultsSixty-five studies were eligible for inclusion. Physical exercise, art therapy, social recovery therapy, social skills training, virtual reality, online programmes and psychosocial interventions improved social functioning and reduced both positive and negative symptoms of psychosis. Factors associated with low social functioning in psychosis included self-perception (self-esteem, self-efficacy, internalised stigma), symptoms (social anxiety, depression, positive and negative symptoms), emotion (reduced emotional awareness/regulation, emotional suppression, negative affect), cognition (appraisals, negative self-beliefs, dependency and enmeshment schema, negative self-statements, defeatist performance beliefs, metacognitive beliefs), social cognition (ToM, neurocognition) and behaviours (motivation, social relatedness, avoidance). Factors associated with high social functioning in psychosis included emotional awareness, acceptance of emotions, positive affect, cognitive reappraisal, positive performance beliefs and adaptive coping.
conclusionsA number of factors were associated with high or low social functioning in psychosis, which highlights important clinical intervention targets for devising novel social functioning interventions. The cognitive model of social functioning in psychosis could facilitate the development of personalised and idiosyncratic formulations and targeted interventions in CBTp to enhance social functioning in psychosis.
