Lived experiences of patients with First Episode Psychosis: A qualitative study from India.
Article in Indian journal of psychiatry, 2026. 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: Individuals with first episode psychosis (FEP) encounter both positive and negative life experiences during the early course of illness, yet these remain underexplored in the Indian context. Aim: To explore the lived experiences of patients with FEP by using qualitative methods. Methodology: Twenty patients with FEP in clinical remission were purposively sampled from a tertiary-care hospital in North India. Semi-structured in-depth interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed, translated, and thematically analyzed. Results: Analysis revealed eight themes and 28 sub-themes, including limited illness knowledge, causal attributions, acute episode experiences, treatment barriers, family impact, doctor-patient trust, stigma, and illness consequences. Conclusion: The study highlights early lived experiences of FEP patients in India, showing challenges of stigma, knowledge gaps, and treatment barriers, but also positive experiences of family and doctor support. These findings underscore the need for culturally tailored psycho-education and stigma-reduction strategies.
