Physical healthcare of people with severe mental illness: everybody's business!
Article in Mental health in family medicine, 2010. 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
Aim People with severe mental illness are at higher risk of physical health problems. Guidelines recommend annual monitoring. An audit cycle was completed on individuals with severe mental illness under the care of an early interventions in psychosis (EIP) service to evaluate and improve physical health monitoring practice.Methods The number of patients who had undergone a physical health check in the previous year, and those having a record of it in their EIP notes, was examined. Interventions made between baseline audit and re-audit included improving awareness within the multidisciplinary EIP mental health team about the importance of physical health monitoring of people with severe mental illness and liaison with primary care health services.Results The number of patients undergoing at least one annual physical health check increased from 20% to 58%. Among patients who had undergone a physical health check at re-audit, a record of some or all the checks was available in the notes for 75% of patients.Clinical implications There is a need to improve awareness among mental health professionals about the importance of the physical health of people with severe mental illness and to make appropriate organisational changes.
