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

purposeAlthough current interventions have proven effective for improving outcomes for individuals with psychotic disorders, this population continues to encounter challenges and health disparities. Recently, researchers have investigated how social determinants of health influence the incidence and outcomes of psychotic disorders. In particular, neighborhood deprivation (i.e., a composite index capturing the social, material, and environmental challenges of a particular area relative to the broader area [1]), has been investigated in numerous studies on psychotic disorders but research has yet to consolidate and quantify its significance. The current meta-analysis assesses neighborhood deprivation and its relationship to psychotic disorder incidence and symptoms.

methodsArticles published prior to April 1, 2024 were identified via two bibliographic databases: PubMed and PsycINFO. The literature search yielded 17 studies consisting of 59,719 cases for the meta-analysis investigating the relation between neighborhood deprivation and psychotic disorder incidence. Six studies of 2,790 cases were included in the meta-analysis assessing the relation between neighborhood deprivation and psychotic disorder symptoms.

resultsThere was a robust relation between psychotic disorder incidence and neighborhood deprivation, such that as neighborhood deprivation within an area increased so too did the incidence. There was no evidence of a substantial relationship between neighborhood deprivation and psychotic disorder symptoms.

conclusionsThe results of this study identified a social determinant of health that has high relevance to the incidence of psychotic disorders. Findings underscore the need to develop multi-level interventions to address neighborhood deprivation and reduce resource inequalities across geographical locations.
