Monitoring of mental health systems and services: comparison of four existing indicator schemes.
Article in Social psychiatry and psychiatric epidemiology, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundA public mental health indicator scheme may be defined as a systematic collection of brief proxy measures that represent summary information on variables that are potentially influenced by or relevant to mental health systems, programmes and services. Existing public mental health indicator schemes have been developed in or for high-income countries.
methodThe paper describes and compares four existing high-income country public mental health indicator schemes and highlights key observations.
resultsThe range of indicators and subclasses of indicators covered by the four existing schemes is large. There was only one item (indicator) that was covered by more than one scheme.
conclusionsThe variety of possibilities in indicators and types of indicators suggests a lack of consensus in the essential contents of an indicator scheme. There is a need for a public mental health indicator scheme that is applicable in resource-poor countries.
