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
Aim: Despite the effectiveness of targeted first episode psychosis services, a significant proportion of youth referred to such services do not engage in them. Youth (a group at the transition between adolescence and adulthood) is a particularly crucial phase of development related to identity formation, and therefore may be one in which stigma related to psychosis strongly impacts self-definitions. It has been proposed that awareness of and sensitivity to negative stereotypes, such as people with psychosis cannot recover, may predict early disengagement from targeted first episode psychosis services. The purpose of the present study was to explore the relationship between experiences of stigma and service engagement in the narratives of both youth with first episode psychosis (FEP) and their family members. Methods: We conducted qualitative interviews eliciting detailed accounts on both stigma and the help-seeking process among youth and family members (N=23, 14 youth and 9 family members). Interviews focused on the experiences of stigma concern and self-stigma in FEP, and how they impact treatment engagement and identity development. Results: Open-coding analyses revealed that youth with FEP and family members reported themes of experiencing, anticipating, and internalizing stigma, and that concern with stigma was associated with increased ambivalence and reduced willingness to engage in treatment. Conclusions: Findings support that it is essential to address stigma in FEP services to improve treatment engagement.
