SynthesisSocial psychiatry and psychiatric epidemiology2004
A systematic review of home treatment services--classification and sustainability.
Synthesis in Social psychiatry and psychiatric epidemiology, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundIn view of the plethora of different community-based mental health services, there is a clear need for a classification based on service components rather than labels. Moreover, the sustainability of experimental services beyond their research studies is rarely reported.
methodsAs part of a systematic review of home treatment for mental health problems, authors of all included studies were followed up for data on service components and sustainability. Associations between components were explored.
resultsThere was evidence of a core group of components co-occurring in home treatment services: regularly visiting at home, taking responsibility for health and social care, having smaller caseloads, multidisciplinary teams, integrated psychiatrists and a high proportion of contacts at home. Fifty-four per cent of services no longer existed, of which almost half had ended by the study's publication date. There was a significant association between sustainability and the study's hospitalisation outcome.
conclusionsSome of the related service components presented here were associated with reducing hospitalisation. This group cannot, however, be used to provide a new taxonomy of services. It is imperative that future studies prospectively record and report service components to enable better classification. It is of concern that policy is currently predicated on research findings regardless of whether or not the experimental service was sustainable.
