Corollary discharge and efference copy mechanisms in schizophrenia and controls: The N1 and P2 evoked potential components differentially react to self-initiated tones in schizophrenia.
Article in PloS one, 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
"Efference copy" and "corollary discharge" mechanisms may help to distinguish internal from external stimuli. Previous studies indicate that patients with schizophrenia show a lack of N1 evoked response potential component amplitude suppression to self-initiated auditory stimuli, suggesting a corollary discharge impairment. In our study, we examined N1 and P2 component amplitude suppression in 27 patients with schizophrenia and 30 healthy controls using an auditory button-press paradigm. In addition to symptom ratings we conducted neuropsychological assessments. Our findings replicated N1 amplitude suppression to self-generated tones in schizophrenia patients. We found no correlation between N1, P2, and lateralized readiness potential, suggesting that the readiness potential may not directly represent corollary discharge mechanisms. Cognition performance was reduced in schizophrenia patients and performance reduction correlated with negative symptoms. Cognition was not associated with evoked potential data. Regarding the P2 component, P2 suppression to self-generated tones was observed in patients as well as in controls. In conclusion, the N1 and the P2 component seem to be differentially involved in corollary discharge and efference copy mechanisms. Further investigation is needed to elucidate functional differences and sources of both components in this context.
