Association Between Social and Role Functioning and Transition to Psychosis in the North American Prodrome Longitudinal Study Consortium.
Article in Schizophrenia bulletin, 2026. 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 and hypothesisFunctional deficits during adolescence have proved to be important risk factors for later psychosis at 2 to 3-year follow-up. The aim of the current study was to evaluate whether social and role functioning in clinical high-risk (CHR) youth is associated with transition to psychosis. STUDY
designData from the North American Prodrome Longitudinal Studies (NAPLS 2, NAPLS 3) were combined with outcome data from the NAPLS Long-Term Follow-up study to assess the relationship between baseline social and role functioning and later transition to psychosis. Participants included 1474 CHR individuals from NAPLS 2 (n = 764) and NAPLS 3 (n = 710), of whom 198 (13%) are known to have transitioned to psychosis. STUDY
resultsIndividuals who later transitioned to psychosis had more severe positive and negative symptoms and poorer social and role functioning at baseline compared to those who did not. Higher baseline social and role functioning was significantly associated with a reduced hazard of transition (HR = 0.864, P = .0013; HR = 0.898, P = .0004, respectively), whereas a decline in social and in role functioning was significantly associated with an increased hazard of transition (HR = 1.229, P = .0013; HR = 1.124, P = .002, respectively).
conclusionsThese results underscore the significance of social and role functioning in predicting subsequent transition to psychosis in CHR participants, suggesting an underlying vulnerability that is possibly independent of clinical symptoms. Early intervention that includes a focus on social and role functioning in high-risk youth may reduce the risk of future functional disability and perhaps a later psychotic episode.
