Country of birth and hospital treatment for psychosis in New South Wales.

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
backgroundMigration has been found to be a risk factor for schizophrenia in several high-income countries.
aimTo examine whether overseas migrants to New South Wales (NSW) have higher rates of admission to psychiatric hospitals for psychotic disorders, including schizophrenia and mania, compared to people born in Australia.
methodsThe country of birth of people admitted to public mental health units for the treatment of psychotic illness and for non-psychotic disorders between 2001 and 2010 was compared to the country of birth for the NSW population in the 2006 census. Meta-analysis was used to estimate the odds of being admitted for any psychotic disorder, for a schizophrenia-related psychosis and for mania compared to non-psychotic disorder, for those born in Australia, New Zealand and for nine global regions.
resultsThose born in Oceania (including Melanesia, Fiji, Samoa, Tonga and other Polynesian islands, but excluding Hawaii and New Zealand) had the highest odds of admission for the treatment of psychosis compared to a non-psychotic disorder and had the highest odds of being admitted with a diagnosis of schizophrenia or mania.
conclusionsIn the years 2001-2010, those born in Oceania were at an increased risk of admission to NSW psychiatric hospitals for the treatment of psychotic illness.
