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

objectivesThe time perspective dimensions and balanced time perspective (BTP) may play a crucial role in the therapeutic process of individuals with schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSDs). This study aimed to investigate the relationship between BTP, working alliance (WA) and psychiatric symptomatology in individuals with SSD.

methodsA total of 313 residential patients with SSD were recruited from 98 residential facilities in Italy. Clinicians completed the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) and the Brief Negative Symptom Scale (BNSS), while patients completed the Zimbardo Time Perspective Inventory (ZTPI) and the Working Alliance Inventory-Short Form (WAI). Deviation from Balanced Time Perspective-revised (DBTP-r) was applied as an estimate of unbalanced TP. Statistical analyses included Pearson correlations and mediation models. Age, sex, illness duration and years of education were controlled in mediation analyses.

resultsDBTP-r showed significant negative correlations with WAI total and positive correlations with BPRS and BNSS. ZTPI-Present Fatalistic negatively correlated with WAI-Goal. The WAI partially mediated the effect of DBTP-r on both BPRS and BNSS, while DBTP-r partially mediated the impact of WAI on both BPRS and BNSS.

conclusionsBTP played a dual role, acting both as a contributing factor to and a result of the WA. The present-fatalistic TP emerged as a key factor in shaping WA concerning therapeutic goals. Findings underscore the importance of considering (B)TP as both a potential resource and a therapeutic target in treating SSD.
