Considering variables for the assignment of patients with schizophrenia to a case management programme.
Article in Community mental health journal, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
The elements and intensity of case management (CM) practices should be established according to patients' needs. Therefore, greater understanding of patients' needs in such community-based programmes is essential. This paper addresses this issue by characterizing two groups of patients receiving CM or a standard treatment programme (STP) and identifying the characteristics of patients receiving CM services. We recruited 241 patients with schizophrenia from 10 Adult Mental Health Centres in Barcelona (Catalonia, Spain). We analyzed the profile of new patients included in a clinical, non-intensive CM program against that of patients in a STP. CM patients, compared with STP patients, have a lower educational level and quality of life; greater use of health care services, and higher levels of psychiatric symptoms, disability and unmet needs. Community psychiatric visits, social services, education, physical health and needs were significantly associated with CM services. This study may help in identifying patients' needs and strengthening the CM programme.
