Gender Differences in Social Cognition and Their Association With Functioning in Individuals With Non-Affective Psychosis.
Article in Journal of clinical psychology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectivesPrevious studies in non-affective psychosis (NAP) consistently found that patients' functioning is associated with social cognition and gender, with higher functioning in female patients. This study investigated the impact of social cognition on the relationship between gender and functioning, and examined psychometric properties of the Narrative Emotions Task (NET) as a measure of social cognition with high ecological validity. DESIGN AND
methodsN = 95 outpatients with NAP were assessed regarding functioning, social cognition, and psychopathology. Correlations were computed and a potential indirect effect of gender on functioning, mediated by social cognition, was examined.
resultsResults showed a significant positive correlation between social cognition and functioning, with female patients exhibiting higher functioning. There were no gender differences in the total score of the NET, and the indirect effect of social cognition through gender on functioning could not be confirmed. Gender differences in social cognition were only evident for the NET emotion perception index. Moreover, there was some evidence of a potentially mediating effect of emotion perception concerning the relationship between gender and functioning, but this effect was not significant when covariates were added to the analysis. The NET showed high internal consistency and was correlated with an established instrument of metacognition (Metacognition Assessment Scale-Abbreviated).
conclusionsThe findings equally broaden the picture and highlight the need for further investigation into gender differences in NAP, their underlying mechanisms, and their impact on functioning. The NET appears to be a feasible measure for assessing social cognition, going beyond laboratory tasks.
