Schizophrenia Impacts and Treatment Priorities: Results of An Externally-Led Patient-Focused Drug Development Meeting Survey.
Article in Therapeutic innovation & regulatory science, 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
objectiveUsing survey data gathered for an Externally-Led Patient-Focused Drug Development (EL-PFDD) meeting led by the schizophrenia community to inform the US Food and Drug Administration, this publication examines schizophrenia's impacts on daily life, reasons for discontinuation of medication, and desired outcomes of future medications.
methodsAn online, cross-sectional survey about schizophrenia's impacts on daily life, treatment experiences, and desired outcomes of future medications was developed for adults with schizophrenia and caregivers of adults with schizophrenia who could not complete the survey. Patient advocacy organizations participating in the EL-PFDD meeting recruited respondents via email and social media between August 9, 2022 and September 26, 2022.
results282 survey responses from 96 people with schizophrenia and 186 caregiver proxies are reflected in this publication. Both respondent groups reported significant impacts of schizophrenia on aspects of daily living spanning work and education, relationships, responsibilities at home, and finances. For people with schizophrenia, the most frequently reported reason for discontinuing medications was weight gain (66% of 83 question respondents); for caregiver proxies, it was "feeling flat" (57% of 165 question respondents). Preventing delusions, preventing hallucinations, and enjoying daily activities received the highest average ratings as desired outcomes of future treatments from people with schizophrenia, whereas preventing delusions and making it easier to maintain relationships had the highest average ratings from caregiver proxies.
conclusionsAs exploratory work on community treatment priorities, this research can inform patient-focused drug development endeavors by patients, advocates, industry, and regulators to address unmet needs in schizophrenia moving forward.
