Approaches to involuntary admission of the mentally ill in the People's Republic of China: changes in legislation from 2002 to 2012.
Review in The journal of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
A systematic analysis of laws on involuntary commitment of mentally ill individuals in China has never been undertaken. In this article, we explore the trajectory of the legislation and discuss the social and cultural factors underlying the changes in the laws. In this description and analysis of the differences and similarities in the current legal framework and procedures for involuntary commitment of the mentally ill across the mental health regulations of seven localities and the National Mental Health Law, one can see a gradual trend toward more stringent legislation during the past 10 years. The compromises, reversals, and circuitous course of the legislative process reflect the difficulties that the government faced in achieving a balance between benefits to society and the individual as it attempted to revamp the delivery of mental health services. The 2012 National Mental Health Law, despite some weaknesses, is an important step toward standardizing the diverse practices in involuntary admission of mentally ill persons in China. Further research on the influence of the National Law on mental health services is clearly needed.
