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

IntroductionFacial emotion recognition is impaired in schizophrenia and contributes to profound social impairments. Healthy adults exhibit larger N170 amplitudes to emotional compared to neutral faces. Preliminary evidence suggests an inability to modulate N170 amplitude by emotional expression during chronic stages of the illness. The present investigation examined N170 modulation by emotion among patients with chronic (ChSz) and first hospitalized (FHSz) schizophrenia.MethodsEEG was recorded from 26 FHSz and 28 ChSz participants as well as 19 young (YC) and 21 older (OC) matched controls. Participants were asked to detect neutral faces among happy, angry, disgusted, fearful, and sad faces. N170 amplitudes were measured from P9/P10 electrodes. Symptoms were assessed using the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS).ResultsN170 amplitude modulation by facial emotion was observed across FHSz and YC (
