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

Illness perception in mental health disorders can affect prognosis and well-being. According to the Transtheoretical Model of Behavior Change, mental illness involves repetitive behavioral patterns that gradually change throughout the therapeutic process, during which progressing to stages of higher readiness to change is considered advantageous. The current study examined correlations between illness perception, readiness to change, quality of life, and the severity of depression and anxiety in hospitalized individuals with psychotic disorders or affective disorders. Data from 110 individuals with schizophrenia spectrum and other psychotic disorders (ICD-10: F20-29, F2* group) and 261 individuals with affective disorders (ICD-10: F30-39, F3* group) were analyzed. Illness perception, readiness to change, quality of life, and depression and anxiety symptom severity were assessed using the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire, the "Fragebogen zur Erfassung der Veränderungsbereitschaft" (Readiness for Change Questionnaire), the brief version of the World Health Organization's Quality of Life assessment tool, the Beck Depression Inventory and the Beck Anxiety Inventory. Various illness perception dimensions were associated with quality of life and depression scores in both groups, and with anxiety scores in the F3* group.
