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

Background: Schizophrenia is a severe mental disorder that imposes significant social burdens. Traditional treatmens, however, have limited effectiveness in addressing negative symptoms and cognitive deficits. Recent studies have indicated interventions promoting sensorimotor integration may offer potential benefits for schizophrenia treatment. The current study aimes to investigate the effects of dance training as an intervention for patients with chronic schizophrenia. Methods: This study recruited 34 individuals with schizophrenia, who were randomly allocated to either a dance intervention group ( Results: The PANSS total scores ( Conclusion: While both interventions resulted in improvements in clinical symptoms and cognitive function, the dance intervention specifically enhanced attention and verbal memory. Dance and aerobic exercise induced different changes in physiological indicators, which might be the physiological basis for improvements in clinical symptoms and cognitive function.
