Shame and trauma are critical to understanding the impacts of psychosis: Examining clinical correlates within a tertiary psychosis service cohort.

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
objectiveThis study aimed to examine the association of trauma exposure and shame on the clinical presentation of individuals experiencing psychosis (including suicidal behaviours).
methodsA retrospective audit of clinical data collected over a 4-year period from a tertiary psychosis service was conducted. All individuals accessing the service had experience of psychosis.
findingsData from 201 individuals who completed assessments between 2020 and 2024 were analysed. Exposure to trauma was high, with all reporting experience of at least one traumatic event. Trauma related to psychosis symptoms (64.0%) and treatment experiences following psychosis (57.0%) were particularly prevalent. Exposure to lifespan trauma was positively related to the number of lifetime suicide attempts,
conclusionsThese findings highlight different, though related, associations between suicidal behaviours with trauma exposure and shame. While trauma is associated with suicidal behaviours, shame is correlated with suicidal ideation, raising implications for assessment and intervention. Future work could examine whether suicide ideation in this group is influenced by psychological interventions that target shame.
