Effect of introducing a care pathway to standardize treatment and nursing of schizophrenia.
Article in Community mental health journal, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Care pathways can help to implement evidence-based clinical practice. The introduction of care pathways is difficult for psychiatric disorders. This study examined whether the organization and the effectiveness of care provided to schizophrenic patients can be improved by care pathways. Outcomes from 19 patients receiving treatment using evidence-based care pathways were compared with 17 patients receiving a traditional approach to care over a 3 months period. Results showed significant improvements in the quality of the care for the patients included in the care pathway group. The authors concluded the positive outcomes for patients treated with care pathways were related to the assistance provided to clinicians in identifying and implementing evidence-based standards.
