Attachment and Social Functioning in Patients with a Psychosis Spectrum Disorder: A Mediation Study.
Article in Schizophrenia bulletin open, 2025. 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
Background: Insecure attachment may increase the risk of impaired social functioning in patients with a psychosis spectrum disorder. However, the pathways by which insecure attachment determines social functioning remain underexplored. Aims: To investigate the effects of insecure (anxious and avoidant) attachment styles on social functioning (defined as satisfaction with role performance) and the role of three candidate mediators (ie, psychotic, depressive, and anxiety symptoms) in patients with psychosis. Methods: Cross-sectional study as part of the UP's multicenter cohort study on recovery from psychotic disorders. Structural equation modeling was used to estimate direct and indirect paths of attachment styles and psychotic, depressive, and anxiety symptoms in relation to social functioning. Analyses were performed using data from a complete Psychosis Attachment Measure sample, Results: The final model showed a mediation effect only for depressive symptoms, which appeared stronger for the association between anxious attachment and social functioning (-0.10, 95% CI -0.19 to -0.02) than for the association between avoidant attachment and social functioning (-0.04, 95% CI -0.08 to -0.01). Conclusions: Our results suggest that insecure attachment and depressive symptoms are relevant to improving social functioning in individuals with psychosis.
