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

Studies conducted in first-episode psychosis (FEP) patients have shown alterations in inflammation and metabolism. Our objective was to investigate potential treatment-related effects on these systems in Italian FEP patients undergoing either an experimental treatment consisting of a multi-element psychosocial intervention (EXP), including cognitive-behavioural therapy, or treatment as usual (TAU). A total of 191 FEP patients with first contact between April 2010 and March 2011 were clinically assessed at baseline and after 9 months of treatment, and the serum levels of 19 analytes were determined through single or multiplex enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs). A significant increase was observed in leptin levels and a significant decrease in Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 (GLP-1) levels during the treatment (time effect,
