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

Shao and Xie discuss the changes to involuntary admission laws across seven jurisdictions in China over a 10-year period and the influences on the new National Act. The discussion is important, given allegations of human rights abuses in that country. Strengths and weaknesses of the National Act are raised and compared with our local experience on the island of Barbados. Further discussion of the most appropriate approaches to involuntary admission would be useful.
