Dissociative experiences among Kenyan youth in the Nairobi metropolitan area: Associations with psychosis risk symptoms.

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
Dissociative experiences, including perceptual distortions, daydreaming and memory lapses, are clinically relevant and possible correlates and associated features of psychosis risk rather than established prodromal indicators. This study examined dissociative experiences patterns among Kenyan youth and their associations with sociodemographic factors, risk for psychosis and mood disorders. This was a cross-sectional study among youth aged 14-30 years in the Nairobi Metropolitan Area. Participants completed the Washington Early Recognition Center Affectivity and Psychosis Screen (WERCAP) and the Washington Early Recognition Center Dissociation Screen (WERC-DS): Exploratory factor analysis, group comparisons and reliability testing were applied. Dissociative experiences were common among participants, with 25-47% endorsing the highest frequency on individual daydreaming items, and 6.5-39.5% endorsing the highest severity on individual items assessing perceptual distortions. Three factors emerged (Daydream Intensity and Engagement, Perceptual Distortion and Memory Lapses), demonstrating strong internal consistency (
