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

introductionIn recent years collaboration has become an important part of the delivery of welfare services. One response to these collaborative efforts has been the introduction of strategic collaboration between different welfare agencies. Strategic collaboration is arguably the most open-ended form of service integration, as both purpose and membership are open to negotiation. This article will examine the work in strategic collaboration councils in the mental health services.

methodThe study is based on observations in eight strategic collaboration councils in Sweden. The councils were observed over 12 months, and every meeting that was held during that time was observed and tape-recorded.

resultsFOUR BASIC ACTIVITIES WERE IDENTIFIED: the exchange of information, the identification of problems, organizing events and activities, and organizing the councils. Even though these activities were identified, the main focus was to exchange information. The councils' work also varied in terms of how they make decisions and agreements, and whether their focus is more on internal or external issues.

conclusionFROM THE IDENTIFIED ACTIVITIES, THE COUNCILS CAN BE CLASSIFIED INTO FOUR IDEAL TYPES: the information council, the problem-identification council, the decision-making council, and the self-organizing council.
