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

purposeThe recent increase of so-called precarious work conditions plus the current financial crisis have led to a growing sense of uncertainty among the public. This may have repercussions on attitudes towards people with mental illness. Particularly, the public may have become more reluctant to support access to work for these people.

methodsIn 1990, 2001 and 2011, population surveys were conducted in the "old" states of Germany, using the same sampling procedure, interview mode and measures. Within the context of a fully structured interview respondents were presented a case-vignette depicting a person with symptoms of depression. They were then asked how willing they would be to accept the person in the vignette in various social relationships.

resultsWhile the German public's unwillingness to recommend an individual with depression for a job remained unchanged during the 1990s, it increased significantly during the subsequent decade. By contrast, in all other social relationships studied, no increase of the desire for social distance could be observed during this time period. The trend towards withholding access to jobs was most pronounced among employed respondents.

conclusionsThe results of our study underline the importance of macro-social factors for the discrimination of people with mental illness.
