Trial reportPsychological medicine2026
Symptom networks of therapy-seeking individuals with comorbid psychosis and PTSD.
Trial report in Psychological medicine, 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
backgroundPost-traumatic sequelae are theorized to contribute to and maintain psychotic symptoms. The relative contribution of core posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms and those of complex PTSD are understudied. Network analysis was used to examine interactions between psychosis, core PTSD, and complex post-traumatic symptoms. Based on previous evidence, it was predicted that trauma-related beliefs would have the greatest predictability. It was also hypothesized that the association between voices and trauma-related beliefs would be greater than the association between voices and re-experiencing.
methodsBaseline data from the Study of Trauma and Recovery (STAR), a randomized controlled therapy trial of people with schizophrenia-spectrum disorder who experience distressing delusions and/or hallucinations and comorbid PTSD (
resultsThe hypotheses were not supported. All symptoms had similar predictability scores. There was no evidence for conditionally dependent relations between re-experiencing and voices nor between trauma-related beliefs and voices. However, self-blame was associated with delusions, and affective dysregulation was found to predict voices.
conclusionsAffective dysregulation and self-blame may maintain voices and delusions, respectively. Heterogeneity in trauma-related psychosis could explain inconsistent findings; future research should identify symptom presentation subgroups to improve network reliability.
