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
Introduction: Social cognition (SC) allows individuals to perceive, interpret, and react to intentions and behaviors of others. Forensic psychiatry patients show impaired SC, leading to emergence of violent behaviors. This impairment may differ according to patients' intelligence quotient and psychiatric diagnosis (schizophrenia spectrum vs. personality disorders). Aims: The study investigated emotional SC and cognitive SC in male forensic inpatients, exploring demographic, criminological and clinical determinants. Results: 39.2% of the offenders presented cognitive SC and 25.3% emotional SC impairment. Higher intelligence quotient was the unique 10-fold protective factor for cognitive SC, independently of psychiatric diagnoses and criminal history. In contrast, for emotional SC, average intelligence and PD disorder acted as protective factors compared to schizophrenia and intellectual deficiency, while foreign nationality acted as risk factor. Notably, neither recidivism nor the violent or multiple nature of crimes were related to SC. Discussion: Clinicians should consider patients' level of intelligence and include differential emotional and cognitive SC assessments, when referring mentally disordered offenders for SC training to improve their prosocial skills.
