Preliminary comparison of four factor structures of facial emotion recognition in individuals with schizophrenia.
Article in European archives of psychiatry and clinical neuroscience, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundIndividuals with schizophrenia tend to have moderate-to-severe deficits in facial emotion recognition. To characterize the deficits and inform future interventions, measures with robust structural validity are needed. Four structures have been proposed: the 7-domain structure (happiness, sadness, anger, disgust, fear, surprise, and neutral), the 1-domain structure (an overall ability), the 2-domain structure (threatening and non-threatening faces, with surprise excluded), and the 4-domain structure (positive, negative, unexpected, and neutral). This study compared the four candidate structures of facial emotion recognition in individuals with schizophrenia.
methodsData from 351 Asian adults with schizophrenia were obtained from projects validating social cognition measures. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to examine the four candidate structures using odd-even and first-and-second-half item parceling approaches. Robust maximum likelihood estimation was additionally used as a sensitivity analysis.
resultsUnder maximum likelihood estimation, only the 7-domain structure achieved satisfactory model fit across parceling approaches (χ²/df = 1.8 and 1.2; comparative fit index = 0.977 and 0.995; root-mean-square error of approximation = 0.049 and 0.023; standardized root-mean-square residual = 0.032 and 0.028). The preference for emotion-specific scoring remained unchanged under robust maximum likelihood estimation and in additional comparisons restricted to the six facial emotion recognition categories common to all candidate structures.
conclusionsSeparate domain scores for each emotion may be preferable. Facial emotion recognition measures could include six basic emotions and neutral faces to support comprehensive emotion-specific score interpretation. However, these preliminary, population-dependent findings require validation in non-Asian populations.
