Longitudinal Trajectories of Clinical Features in Community Youth With Recurrent Psychosis Spectrum Symptoms: Findings From the Philadelphia Neurodevelopmental Cohort.

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
background and hypothesisIn the general population, more severe, recurrent subthreshold psychosis spectrum (PS) symptoms are associated with a heightened risk of poor outcomes. Here, we expanded and temporally extended our prior 2-year follow-up of community youth with recurrent PS symptoms in the Philadelphia Neurodevelopmental Cohort (PNC) by characterizing longer-term trajectories of symptom domains and global functioning compared to youth with other recurrent psychopathology. STUDY
designThe PNC Time 1 included 9498 community youth (age 8-21) recruited from a pediatric healthcare network. A subsample (n = 752) participated in prospective evaluations (mean visits = 2.75; interval range years first:last visit = 0.2:9.3; mean = 4.52 years; age range years first:last visit = 8.1-21.9:9.5-29.9). Youth were classified based on psychopathology at first and last visits. Longitudinal trajectories of symptom domains (positive, negative, disorganized, general) and global functioning were modeled using generalized additive mixed models. STUDY
resultsYouth with recurrent PS displayed a nonlinear developmental trajectory of positive psychosis symptoms such that severity increased slowly until the early 20s, and then briefly plateaued before increasing significantly in the late 20s. They also exhibited increases over time in disorganized and negative symptoms, and in general symptoms, which were lower in severity and relatively stable in other groups. Global functioning in recurrent PS declined from moderate to serious impairment over time, compared to youth with recurrent other psychopathology, where higher and more stable functioning was observed.
conclusionsResults underscore that PS symptoms in community adolescents reflect dynamic developmental processes into early adulthood, and support evaluating trajectories of multiple symptom and functional domains.
