Complexity and psychopathology: from mechanistic science to a physical understanding of the mental conditions based on chaos and complexity.
Article in Frontiers in 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
The Traditional Scientific Method (TSM), rooted in the Cartesian-Mechanistic Paradigm, is insufficient for the comprehensive study of the human mind and suffering, which are complex phenomena. Thus, psychiatry can pathologize many vital critical processes and neurodivergences when it simplifies subjectivity and diversity through its nosological models. This essay advocates for a shift towards the Complexity Paradigm (CP)to achieve a psychopathology more adequate to human singularity. The CP posits that life and mind are emergent dissipative phenomena arising from the synergy between chaos and order, that enables systems to adapt through self-organization while maintaining their internal stability. Therefore, organic complexity appears to decrease with age and pathologies. We explore Non-Extensive Statistical Mechanics (
