Early maladaptive schemas as predictors of depressive symptoms and treatment success in an outpatient rehabilitation sample.

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 and objectives: Early maladaptive schemas (EMSs) are cognitive-emotional patterns linked to depression. Their role in psychiatric rehabilitation and treatment success remains unclear. This study examines the association between EMSs and depressive symptom severity at admission and its impact on treatment outcomes. Materials and methods: A total of 2,568 patients in a 6-week outpatient psychiatric rehabilitation program in Austria were assessed. EMSs were measured using the Young Schema Questionnaire-Short Form 3 (YSQ-S3), and depressive symptoms were measured using the Beck Depression Inventory-Second Edition (BDI-2). Multiple regression analyses determined the predictive value of EMSs on symptom severity and treatment response. Cluster analyses identified schema profiles and their relation to treatment success. Results: Higher EMS scores, especially in Discussion: EMSs showed a significant influence on the severity of depressive symptoms at admission. However, their impact on treatment success was limited; namely, similar clinical improvement was found in patients with high EMSs.
