Antidepressant treatment is associated with changes in early maladaptive schemas in major depressive disorder: a prospective study.

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
Introduction: Early maladaptive schemas (EMS) have been increasingly recognized as key cognitive vulnerability factors in depression. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of antidepressant treatment on early maladaptive schemas (EMS) and to examine the relationships between EMS and demographic and clinical factors in major depression. Methods: We conducted a three-month prospective study including 80 patients diagnosed with a major depressive disorder. EMS were assessed using the Young Schema Questionnaire Short Form (YSQ-S2), and depression severity was measured using the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale at baseline (T0) and after 3 months of antidepressant treatment (T3). Results: After 3 months of antidepressant treatment, mean EMS scores significantly decreased, except for the Conclusion: Antidepressant treatment was associated with a significant reduction in most EMS. These findings underscore the importance of additional research on cognitive plasticity of EMS and the mechanisms underlying treatment effects, which could inform more personalized and effective therapeutic strategies.
