Incidence of hospitalised schizophrenia in Finland since 1980: decreasing and increasing again.
Article in Social psychiatry and psychiatric epidemiology, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundIt is suggested that the incidence of schizophrenia is decreasing. However, changes in the number of psychiatric beds available and diagnostic practice have not always been taken into account. We studied the annual first-admission rate (per 100,000) for schizophrenia (FARsch) during a rapid deinstitutionalisation period in Finland.
methodFrom the National Finnish Hospital discharge register, we identified all 30,041, 15- to 64-year-old patients admitted for the first time with schizophrenia to hospitals in Finland between 1980 and 2003.
resultsFARsch decreased from 56.39 in 1980 to 29.51 in 1991 and slightly increased thereafter. Changes in FARsch corresponded with changes in all admissions. FARsch was higher when using ICD-8, but lower when DSM-IIIR and ICD-10 were used.
conclusionChanges in the number of psychiatric beds available, admission policy and diagnostic practice may explain the majority of variations in FARsch. Possibly, increased use of illegal drugs and improved treatment of depression are reflected in the increase in FARsch.
