Mental health service utilization among patients with severe mental disorders.
Article in Community mental health journal, 2011. 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
In light of healthcare reforms, the study aims to assess variables associated with mental healthcare service utilization in general and in both primary and specialized care by patients with severe mental disorders (SMD, mainly schizophrenia). The study is based on a sample of 140 patients with SMD from five regions in Quebec (Canada). Variables were organized in accordance with Andersen's conceptual model into four factors: predisposing, enabling, needs, and service utilization. Secondary analyses were also conducted comparing patients who were hospitalized or used emergency rooms (H.ER-Group) with patients who did not use such services (WH.ER-Group). Accessibility of services, continuity of care, and having a case manager appear to be core variables that enable service utilization. Compared with the WH.ER-Group, the H.ER-Group used twice as many services. The study highlights the importance of developing a gamut of coordinated services, easily accessible in local networks, including case managers, family physicians, and shared-care development.
