1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: Migration is a well-established risk factor for psychosis, yet limited research has examined long-term clinical trajectories following first-episode psychosis (FEP) in migrant populations within Southern European settings. This study investigates how country of origin and time since migration influence psychiatric outcomes in a naturalistic FEP cohort. Methods: A 5-year longitudinal study was conducted on 184 patients with FEP attending the Early Intervention Service from Hospital Universitari de Mataró. Patients were grouped by geographic origin (Spanish, Latin American, Maghrebi, Sub-Saharan) and migration recency (≤5 years Results: Maghrebi origin was associated with lower treatment adherence (OR = 0.32, 95% CI [0.12-0.89], Conclusions: Both migrant origin and recent arrival were associated with differences in psychiatric care trajectories following FEP. These findings highlight the need to consider adaptation of treatment approaches for migrant populations according to their origin and migration context in order to improve long-term outcomes.
