Review in Der Nervenarzt, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Home treatment has been proposed as an alternative to acute psychiatric inpatient treatment. Health insurance systems in Germany and in Switzerland hinder the nationwide implementation of home treatment teams into mental health systems, although the German S3 guidelines for psychosocial treatments of severe mental illnesses recommend provision of acute care at home. Evidence for home treatment is positive, yet there are only few up-to-date studies from Europe and differential indication criteria are lacking. The aim of home treatment is to reduce inpatient bed-days by nonadmission or early discharge. Home treatment teams are mobile, interdisciplinary, and provide 24 h services. The average treatment length in home treatment should not exceed the duration of the inpatient treatment. The home treatment team usually takes the responsibility for the gatekeeping for inpatient treatment. Future research should focus on precise definitions of the structures and interventions of home treatment teams. Home treatment for severely mental ill patients should be distinguished from assertive community treatment and case management, which offer continuing rather than acute crises care.
