1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Perspective taking is a basic social cognitive skill that has been shown to be impacted across the psychosis spectrum. Social cognitive abilities are important predictors of functional outcomes and may be related to symptom development in psychosis. However, no study has yet evaluated a model of how perspective-taking and other social cognitive domains relate to subclinical psychotic-like experiences among late adolescents and young adults. In this study, 137 non-help-seeking university students were assessed on their visual perspective-taking abilities using a computerized task as well as their attribution and hostility biases when completing a vignette-based questionnaire. Performance on the visual perspective-taking task was found to be predictive of distress related to positive and negative psychotic-like experiences. Visual perspective-taking was also associated with attributional biases under ambiguous circumstances, which were, in turn, associated with distressing psychotic experiences. The pattern of visual perspective-taking performance was also indicative of altercentric intrusion, or difficulty inhibiting irrelevant information related to another's perspective, rather than impairments in visualizing or simulating this perspective. These findings have implications for the understanding of basic social cognitive deficits in the psychosis spectrum and how they may relate or contribute to symptomatology.
