1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Language is determinative for psychiatric action, both for the understanding of the mentally ill and for treatment. More generally spoken, language also may be significant for the stigmatization of the mentally ill and of psychiatric institutions. Not least, language is the expression of the current social and cultural atmosphere, the zeitgeist. This will be demonstrated by examples of 1) the patient-physician dialogue, 2) the stigmatizing effect of words, 3) the sociopsychological mechanisms of politically correct language and 4) the change of connotations over time in unchangingly expressed terms.
