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

backgroundInvestigations of causal pathways for psychosis can be guided by the identification of environmental risk factors. A recently developed composite risk tool, the exposome score for schizophrenia (ES-SCZ), which controls for intercorrelations between risk factors, has shown fair to good performance. We tested the transdiagnostic psychosis classifier performance of the ES-SCZ with the Bipolar-Schizophrenia Network for Intermedial Phenotypes data and examined its relationship with clinical-level outcomes. STUDY

designWe computed the case-control classifier performance for the ES-SCZ from cross-sectional data on 1055 volunteers with psychotic diagnoses (schizophrenia, schizoaffective, bipolar psychosis) and 510 controls. Multivariate regression models were used to control for the correlations between outcomes and to correct for the effects of age, sex, and family socioeconomic status across outcomes. We estimated association for the ES-SCZ with psychosis and mood symptom severity, the 5-factor model of personality, and function across biologically defined biotypes, traditional diagnostic categories, and controls. STUDY

resultsES-SCZ classifier performance for psychosis was fair to good. ES-SCZ associations with personality factor scores were qualitatively similar between psychosis groups and controls with decreased conscientiousness and agreeableness and increased neuroticism. The patterns of associations between ES-SCZ and symptoms differed across biotypes and diagnoses. Biotype 3 and bipolar disorder had consistent within-group associations where greater exposome score predicted more severe symptoms and worse function.

conclusionsES-SCZ performance was consistent with previous reports in this transdiagnostic psychosis sample (adjusted odds ratio: 3.331 [2.834, 3.915], P < .001; area under the curve: 0.762 [0.735, 0.789]). Individual differences in ES-SCZ magnitude may be useful for investigating causal pathways between developmentally relevant exposures and symptomatic expression of psychosis.
