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: Anomalous self-experiences (ASEs) are increasingly recognized as core features of schizophrenia spectrum disorders, reflecting disruptions of the pre-reflective self or Objective: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between ASEs, schizotypal traits, general psychopathology, personality dimensions, and intolerance of uncertainty in individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia-spectrum disorders. Methods: A cross-sectional sample of clinically stable patients ( Results: EASE scores were significantly correlated with SPQ total and cognitive-perceptual dimensions, general psychopathology (PANSS), and intolerance of uncertainty. Regression analysis identified SPQ total positive percentage, PANSS general psychopathology scores, and prospective intolerance of uncertainty as significantly associated with ASEs, explaining 42 % of the total variance. BFQ personality traits showed no significant predictive value. Conclusion: These findings support the conceptualization of ASEs as a core, trait-like feature of schizophrenia-spectrum psychopathology. The study highlights the interconnection between self-disturbance and schizotypy, affective dysregulation, and experiential disorganization. Incorporating phenomenological assessment into routine clinical practice may enhance early detection and inform targeted therapeutic approaches.
