Predicting psychotic-like experiences among adolescents: the interplay of childhood trauma, cognitive biases, neuroticism, and depression.

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
backgroundChildhood trauma, cognitive biases, neuroticism, and depression have emerged as crucial risk markers for psychotic-like experiences (PLEs). However, the interplay among these variables in influencing the risk of PLEs remains largely unexplored. This study aims to investigate the effect of the complex relationship between childhood trauma, cognitive biases, neuroticism, and depression on the risk of PLEs among adolescents.
methodsA total of 4,087 adolescents from three senior high schools were recruited for this study. We utilized the Community Assessment of Psychic Experiences to measure PLEs, the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire to assess childhood trauma, the Davos Assessment of Cognitive Biases scale to evaluate cognitive biases, the neuroticism subscale of the Neuroticism-Extraversion-Openness Personality Inventory to assess neuroticism, and the Patient Health Questionnaire to measure depression. Psychiatric diagnoses were screened using a self-report questionnaire.
resultsChildhood trauma, cognitive biases, neuroticism and depression were all associated with an increased risk of PLEs. Participants who had experienced childhood trauma in conjunction with depression, cognitive biases, or neuroticism exhibited a significantly higher risk of endorsing PLEs compared to those who had solely encountered childhood trauma. Path analysis revealed that cognitive biases, neuroticism and depression are significant mediators of the relationship between childhood trauma and PLEs. The model explained 44.7% of the variance in PLEs.
conclusionsOur study highlights cognitive biases, neuroticism, and depression as key mediators linking childhood trauma to PLEs, recognizing the complex interplay among these factors is crucial and should be integrated into clinical screening and therapeutic strategies to mitigate the risk of PLEs.
