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

Stereotypes about mental illness (MI) are not necessarily context-free or stably localized within the stereotype content model (SCM). Studies using different comparison sets are expected to produce different relationships between the two SCM dimensions, meaning that placements derived from visual maps, cluster solutions or quadrant descriptions should not be interpreted as fixed properties of social categories. Drawing on a PRISMA-guided meta-analysis, we synthesize SCM ratings of depression and schizophrenia and demonstrate substantial heterogeneity across studies, both in pooled mean estimates for each diagnosis-by-dimension combination and in contrasts between diagnostic categories. Analyses used random-intercept and random-slope meta-analytic models, with heterogeneity assessed through I
