The Relation Between Aggression and Psychotic-Like Experiences in Help-Seeking Adolescents: The Role of Threat/Control-Override Symptoms.
Article in Schizophrenia bulletin, 2026. 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
background and hypothesisPsychosis is a heterogeneous phenomenon that emerges across a severity spectrum. Attenuated psychotic symptoms, or psychotic-like experiences (PLEs), reflect potential risk factors for formal psychosis and other clinical outcomes. There has historically been a widespread misconception that individuals who experience symptoms of psychosis are dangerous and prone to aggressive behavior. However, empirical evidence reveals only a modest link between psychosis and aggression. The existing associations are sometimes linked to a set of psychotic symptoms known as threat/control-override (TCO) symptoms that are often amenable to treatment. Despite research linking TCO symptoms and aggressive behavior in formal psychosis samples, studies in populations with PLEs are lacking. In line with the TCO model, we hypothesized that a subset of PLEs representing threat perception and control would have unique positive associations on aggression in the sample. STUDY
designThe present study examined the relation between PLEs and aggression in help-seeking adolescents (n = 129). Psychotic-like experiences were assessed by parent/caregiver report (Prime Screen-Revised-Parent/Caregiver Version), and aggression was measured using a parent-rated assessment of adolescent behavior (Behavioral Assessment System for Children, Second Edition). STUDY
resultsResults supported study hypotheses, revealing small, independent effects of threat perception and control, in addition to a significant combined effect of these variables (TCO) on aggression.
conclusionsFindings support the use of symptom-specific measures of PLEs, including those aligning with the TCO model, to investigate the relation between attenuated psychotic symptomatology and aggression.
