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

Motor symptoms have emerged as a promising target for understanding mechanisms, prognosis, and treatment in psychology. Although motor abnormalities are observed across mental health conditions, transdiagnostic research has been limited. It is not well understood whether motor symptoms are a broad endophenotypic marker or a predictor of specific symptoms. We leverage a hierarchical dimensional symptom structure to examine transdiagnostic relationships between psychological and self-reported motor symptoms in 3,460 participants in the Multi-Site Assessment of Psychosis-Risk study. Overall motor problems (β=0.07-0.25), dyskinesia (β=0.07-0.31), and coordination (β=0.05-0.23) were related positively at different strengths to all symptom domains. Amount of physical activity was positively related to mania and substance use (β=0.08-0.09) and negatively related to detachment, fear, and distress (β=0.05-0.27). These results suggest that motor domains may provide utility as both a general endophenotypic marker and more specific predictor of serious mental illness, with implications for research and clinical settings.
