Executive function in schizoaffective disorder: A comparative study with schizophrenia, bipolar affective disorder and normal controls.
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: Schizoaffective disorder (SAD), in current literature, lies clinically and prognostically between schizophrenia (SCZ) and bipolar affective disorder (BPAD), with some overlapping neuropsychological deficits in them. Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate whether there was any difference in executive functions among patients of schizoaffective disorder (SAD), schizophrenia (SCZ), bipolar affective disorder with psychotic symptoms (BPAD) and normal controls (NC). Methods: Data were collected by a non-probability purposive sampling technique from a total of 114 psychotic in-patients using inclusion and exclusion criteria. Using standard laboratory procedure, executive functions (Trail Making Test, TMT; Stroop Color-Word Test, SCWT; Spatial Working Memory, SWM; Stockings of Cambridge, SOC; Intra-Extra Dimensional Set Shift, IEDS) of 23 consecutive consenting clinically stable patients of SAD (manic type) were compared with 23 matched (age, gender and handedness) consenting clinically stable patients of each SCZ, psychotic BPAD and NC subjects. Results: Significantly more executive function deficits due to low CW score ( Conclusion: The CW score, and Stroop interference and number of errors of SWM can differentiate SAD patients from BPAD. The percentage of bets placed in different probability ratios in CGT can differentiate SAD and SCZ patients from BPAD patients neuropsychologically.
