Implementation of assertive community treatment in Australia: model fidelity, patient characteristics and staff experiences.
Article in Community mental health journal, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
The impact of variable implementation of the Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) model on patient outcomes is increasingly recognised. We conducted the first study of four established Australian ACT teams, examining team composition, processes and model fidelity, using previously validated questionnaires. Demographic and clinical details of patients and their own experiences of ACT were gathered from staff. Associations between burnout and work experiences were examined. All teams were ACT-like (mean DACTS score = 3.7, SD = 0.3) with few significant patient differences between teams, except diagnosis (schizophrenia 61-93%, co-morbid substance abuse 16-33%) and proportion living alone (23-72%). Clinicians were fairly satisfied, but inter-team differences in staffing profile and experience emerged and one team scored highly on emotional exhaustion. Increased burnout was associated with greater stress due to taking a team approach. Inter-team differences suggested that attention to effective team working and leadership, as well as model fidelity, may be warranted.
