Ethnic differences in risk of acute compulsory admission in Amsterdam, 1996-2005.

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
purposeSeveral European studies have shown that migrants from non-western countries are at increased risk of psychotic disorders. This study examines how this is reflected in the risk of acute compulsory admission (ACA).
methodsInformation on all patients with an ACA in Amsterdam from 1996 to 2005 was linked to the Amsterdam municipal register.
resultsThe incidence of first ACA in Amsterdam was 4.5 per 10,000 person years. The incidence risk of ACA for any psychiatric disorders and for psychotic disorders in particular showed a 2- to 3-fold increase in almost all migrant groups from non-western countries, and especially for second-generation migrants. In addition, all non-western migrant groups were at increased risk of being assessed as posing a danger to others.
conclusionsThe relative risk of ACA for psychotic disorders was similar to that for the incidence of psychotic disorders in most ethnic groups from other studies, suggesting that the increased risk of ACA in non-western migrants can mainly be explained by the increased incidence of psychotic disorders in these groups. However, the relative risk of ACA for psychotic disorders among Moroccan migrants was lower than expected on the basis of incidence studies, which suggests that additional factors are relevant, such as illness-related expression and access to and quality of care.
