Clinical phenotypes of psychosis and reoffending risk among justice-involved adolescents: a population-based cohort study.
Article in Frontiers in psychiatry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: High reoffending rates among justice-involved adolescents necessitate identifying modifiable risk factors. Given the elevated prevalence of psychosis in this group compared to the general adolescent population, determining its contribution requires differentiation by clinical phenotypes and quantification of associated risk. This study aimed to determine the association between clinical phenotypes of psychosis and reoffending among justice-involved adolescents. Method: We conducted a retrospective cohort study using linked administrative health and justice data (2001-2021) from New South Wales, Australia. Justice-involved adolescents (10-17 years) with a diagnosed psychotic disorder identified from hospital/emergency records (n=236) were matched (approx. 1:3) on age, sex, and index offense year to controls without psychosis (n=679). Time to first general and violent reoffending conviction within 24 months was analyzed using stratified Cox proportional hazards models, adjusting for confounders. Results: Compared to controls, schizophrenia-related psychosis was significantly associated with increased hazards of general reoffending (adjusted Hazard Ratio [aHR]=1.51, 95% CI: 1.10-2.07) and violent reoffending (aHR=2.71, 95% CI: 1.87-3.94). Substance-induced psychosis also showed significantly increased hazards for general reoffending (aHR=3.09, 95% CI: 1.73-5.50) and violent reoffending (aHR=2.87, 95% CI: 1.49-5.56). Conclusions: Non-affective psychoses significantly elevate reoffending risk among justice-involved adolescents, with different magnitudes of risk associated with schizophrenia-related and substance-induced psychosis. Findings highlight the need for nuanced risk assessment and targeted strategies, including routine screening, early intervention, and integrated care pathways within the youth justice system.
