Involuntary commitment and detainment in adolescent psychiatric inpatient care.
Article in Social psychiatry and psychiatric epidemiology, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
objectiveTo evaluate whether adolescents committed to psychiatric inpatient care are the most disturbed, and whether psychosocial factors other than psychiatric symptoms are associated with commitment to and detainment in psychiatric care among adolescents. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe case histories of 187 13- to 17-year-old adolescents consecutively admitted to the study clinic were scrutinized with the help of a structured data collection form. Psychiatric, demographic and family-related characteristics of those referred involuntarily (n = 93) and voluntarily (n = 94), and those detained involuntarily (n = 42) and treated on a voluntary basis (n = 145) were compared.
resultsInvoluntary referral and involuntary detainment were associated with psychotic symptoms, temper tantrums and breaking property, involuntary referral also with violent and hostile behaviours and suicidal ideation and talk. They were not associated to family adversities, previous treatment history or sociodemographic factors. The risk for being committed when presenting with aggressive behaviours was greater in girls.
conclusionInvoluntary referral and detainment in adolescents is associated with symptom severity, and not with aspects of the adolescent's living conditions. This is in agreement with the legislation. Gender bias resulting in girls' greater risk of being involuntarily committed if displaying aggressive behaviours may be an ethical and legal problem.
