Blended internet care for patients with severe mental illnesses: An open label prospective controlled cohort pilot study.
Article in Internet interventions, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
introductionThis paper reports first experiences while providing blended (combined face-to-face and internet-based) flexible assertive community treatment (FACT) to outpatients with severe mental illnesses (SMI). The aim was to compare treatment satisfaction, clinical outcome and quality of life in the short term (3 months) of patients receiving blended FACT with those receiving conventional FACT.
methodThis pilot study was designed as an open label prospective controlled cohort study. 47 SMI patients were found eligible and non-randomly allocated to Blended FACT (
resultsAt a three months follow-up, patients reported slightly improved quality of life (EuroQoL 5 dimensional, Wald χ
conclusionIt appears acceptable to patients to provide blended FACT with SMI, with outcomes comparable to face-to-face FACT. A future high quality trial is warranted to establish (cost-)effectiveness of blended FACT.
