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

Schizophrenia is a complex psychiatric disorder, with cognitive impairment representing a critical unmet medical need. Current treatments primarily address positive symptoms, failing to effectively improve cognitive function and negative symptoms. This narrative review examines the current landscape of novel schizophrenia therapeutics following the discontinuation of iclepertin development, critically evaluates the most promising current candidates, and identifies priority research areas for future drug development. A comprehensive literature review was conducted covering developments from 2020 to 2025, with emphasis on Phase II and Phase III clinical data for novel mechanisms beyond traditional dopamine D
