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: Schizophrenia is a chronic mental disorder that profoundly impairs quality of life. Its burden in China is being reshaped by rapid socioeconomic development and demographic shifts. Objective: To examine temporal trends in China's schizophrenia burden from 1990 to 2023 and to project trends from 2024 to 2052. Methods: Leveraging GBD 2023 data, trends in incidence, prevalence, and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) for schizophrenia in China were analyzed. Spearman correlation analysis and Generalized Additive Models (GAMs) were used to assess the associations between the sociodemographic index (SDI) and disease burden. Decomposition analysis quantified drivers of changes. Bayesian Age-Period-Cohort (BAPC) and Age-Period-Cohort (APC) models projected the disease burden for 2024-2052. A retrospective validation framework incorporating Mean Absolute Error, Root Mean Square Error, and Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) was introduced to evaluate the robustness of the predictive models. Results: From 1990 to 2023, the total numbers of incident cases, prevalent cases, and DALYs for schizophrenia in China showed an increasing trend. Prevalent cases and DALYs in females increased by 59.876% and 57.522%, respectively, which were substantially higher than the increases in males (51.864% and 49.517%). Correlation analysis revealed no significant linear association between the age-standardized incidence rate and SDI. However, GAMs confirmed significant non-linear positive associations between all burden indicators and SDI ( Conclusion: Although the incidence rate remains relatively stable, driven by demographic shifts, the absolute burden of schizophrenia in China continues to rise, with a particularly pronounced cumulative impact on females and young to middle-aged adults. National policies should prioritize establishing routine mental health screening mechanisms for first-year university students and developing specialized community rehabilitation support programs for middle-aged female patients.
