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

backgroundThe financing of psychiatric psychotherapeutic care in Germany is determined by the German psychiatric staffing regulations which are unchanged since 1991. Psychotherapy was established after 1991 as an effective and indispensable treatment of mental and behavioral disorders. AIMS AND

objectivesThe aim of this study was to empirically investigate the use of psychiatrists' and psychologists' working time for psychotherapy in guideline-adherent hospital care. A further aim was to compare these results to the resources defined by the German psychiatric staffing regulations and in the new prospective payment system for psychiatry and psychosomatics in Germany. MATERIAL AND

methodsUniversity hospitals for psychiatry and psychotherapy were asked to retrospectively provide data of patients for which guideline-adherent care was possible. Participating institutions provided both data describing the staff time utilization of psychotherapeutic services provided by psychiatrists and psychologists and patient classifications according to the German psychiatric staffing regulations and the new prospective payment system for psychiatry and psychosomatics.

resultsResources defined by the German psychiatric staffing regulations covered a mean of only 71 min of psychotherapy per patient and week while the actual mean intensity of psychotherapeutic care provided by the participating hospitals was 194 min per patient and week. The associated use of staff time was 102 min per patient and week. Both figures increased during an inpatient episode. The resources defined by the German psychiatric staffing regulations covered only 70 % of medical and psychological personnel. The current configuration of the new prospective payment system for psychiatry and psychosomatics covered only 59 % of staff time.

conclusionThe results of this study provide another unambiguous recommendation to adjust the out-dated German psychiatric staffing regulations to the current evidence and S3 guidelines for psychiatric psychotherapeutic hospital care. In particular, more resources are required for the provision of psychotherapeutic care.
