Shared and Distinct Time-Space Experiences Along the Psychotic-Affective Continuum.
Article in Schizophrenia bulletin, 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
backgroundAlterations in lived time and space mark many mental disorders, yet they unfold in different ways. In schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSD), the core disturbance lies at the microstructural level: fragmented temporal synthesis and disintegration of world, self, and body. In contrast, both mood disorders (MOD) and SSD involve more accessible macro-level shifts, such as acceleration or slowing of the passage of time, fixation on the past, or blockage of the future, difficulties in social space. This overlap raises the question of how such similarities in time and space experiences of SSD and MOD can occur while, at the same time, distinguishing them. STUDY
designTo address this question, we used data from 26 SSD and 26 MOD patients, derived from phenomenological interviews based on the Scale for Time and Space Experience in Psychosis (STEP). We compared groups on the total STEP score and its time and space subscales, and examined differences across the 25 individual items. In a second step, we subdivided the SSD group into high and low temporospatial disturbance groups to further probe distinctions and overlaps. STUDY
resultsThe results confirm that SSD is characterized by fragmentation of temporal experience, including diminished synthesis and changes in anisotropy, fragmentation of world, self, and body. Shared items between MOD and SSD involved changes in the speed of time, shifts away from future orientation toward past and present, and spatial items related to distance and social interaction.
conclusionsTaken together, the findings indicate commonalities across disorders and disturbances that remain more characteristic of SSD.
