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

objectiveThe objective of the study was to compare the predictive utility of three commonly used functioning measures for people with serious mental illness in the prediction of independent living status.

methodsWe conducted a secondary data analysis from the Helping Older People Experience Success study with adults aged 50 years and older with a diagnosis of bipolar disorder, schizoaffective disorder, schizophrenia, or major depressive disorder (N = 183).

resultsTotal scores for the Independent Living Skills Survey, Multnomah Community Ability Scale, and UCSD Performance-Based Skills Assessment were modestly inter-correlated. For the overall sample, greater independent living status at baseline and 1-year follow-up was predicted by higher baseline functioning scores on both the self-reported Independent Living Skills Survey and the UCSD Performance-Based Skills Assessment. However, by diagnostic subgroup, independent living status at 1-year follow-up was only predicted by the Independent Living Skills Survey for affective disorders and by the UCSD Performance-Based Skills Assessment for schizophrenia-spectrum disorders. For the total sample, the Independent Living Skills Survey was associated with self-efficacy and employment status. Neither the Independent Living Skills Survey nor UCSD Performance-Based Skills Assessment was associated with medical or psychiatric hospitalizations or with subjective physical or mental health status.

conclusionsThese commonly used functioning measures for people with serious mental illness examine different aspects of functioning. The choice of functional measurement should be based on the population under study and intervention goals. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
