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.

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.

Abstract

introductionAcoustic-verbal hallucinations (AVH) occur in children and adolescents without psychotic disorders. They are often associated with anxiety, thymic and behavioral disorders and a history of trauma, notably post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). AVH may be transient, but their persistence increases the risk of progression to a psychotic disorder. The aim of this study was to observe the links between markers of emotional and social cognition and the presence of AVH in children with PTSD, as well as the evolution of post-traumatic and psychotic symptoms.

methodsThis was a prospective 6-month study, including children aged 8-16 with PTSD and without psychotic disorder (DSM-5). Participants were divided into two groups, with and without AVH. Emotional cognition markers were measured using the DES IV and BAVQ-R, while social cognition markers were assessed via the NEPSY II test.

results31 patients were included: 16 with AVH and 15 without. Results showed that at inclusion, markers of emotional and social cognition were not associated with AVH. At 6 months, markers of emotional cognition were significantly associated with the persistence of AVH, PTSD and psychotic disorders, unlike those of social cognition.

conclusionEmotional cognition markers play a central role in the evolution of hallucinatory, post-traumatic and psychotic symptoms, and could become a target for prevention and targeted therapy. CLINICAL
