Impaired Speaking-Induced Suppression Predicts Degraded Agency and Hallucination Severity in Schizophrenia.

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
backgroundAgency is the awareness of being the originator of one's own thoughts and actions. Patients with schizophrenia (SZ) show deficits in agency that contribute to distortions in reality monitoring (RM) (distinguishing self-generated from externally produced information) and psychotic symptoms. Agency is also critical for speech monitoring (SM) (monitoring what we hear ourselves say while speaking). For example, disruptions in agency that manifest as hallucinations are thought to result from the misattribution of the source of patients' inner thoughts/speech as external voices.
methodsWe used magnetoencephalography (MEG) to assess agency during RM and SM tasks. In healthy control participants (HCs) during SM, the auditory cortical (A1) response is smaller while speaking (speak condition) compared with listening to the same speech (listen condition). This is known as the speaking-induced suppression (SIS) M100 response, which is measured using MEG 100 ms after speech onset.
resultsDuring RM, patients with SZ (N = 30) showed impairments in both self-agency (identification of self-generated information) and external agency (identification of externally produced information) compared with HCs (N = 30). During SM, patients with SZ failed to enhance M100 responses during the listen condition, resulting in weakened SIS-that is, smaller M100 listen minus speak differences. Weakened SIS predicted worsening hallucination severity.
conclusionsPatients with SZ showed degraded neural M100 responses in A1 during the listen condition, which drove impaired SIS (i.e., smaller M100 listen minus speak differences). Impaired SIS indicated degraded auditory sensory predictions, making it more likely for patients with SZ to misattribute the source of inner thoughts/speech as externally derived, giving rise to disruptions in agency during RM and more severe hallucinations.
