Compulsory admission is associated with an increased risk of readmission in patients with schizophrenia: a 7-year, population-based, retrospective cohort study.

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
purposeThe aim of this study was to assess the risk of psychiatric readmission in patients with schizophrenia, compare it between patients prescribed compulsory admission and those consenting to voluntary admission, and determine risk factors for psychiatric readmission.
methodsThis 7-year (2007-2013), population-based, cohort study retrospectively compared data of 2038 schizophrenic inpatients who initially underwent compulsory admission (the CA group) and of 8152 matched controls with schizophrenia who initially underwent voluntary admission (the VA group).
resultsDuring the study period, there were 1204 and 3806 readmissions in the CA and VA groups, respectively. Compared with the VA group, the CA group was associated with a greater risk of psychiatric readmission [adjusted hazard ratio (AHR) = 1.765; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.389-2.243; P < 0.001]. Stratified analyses showed that the CA group was associated with a higher risk of subsequent compulsory (AHR = 1.307; 95% CI 1.029-1.661; P < 0.001) and voluntary (AHR = 1.801; 95% CI 1.417-2.289; P < 0.001) readmissions compared to the VA group. Sensitivity analyses, after excluding data from the first year of observation, also provided significant findings with respect to compulsory and voluntary readmissions. Kaplan-Meier curves revealed that cumulative survival rates of psychiatric readmissions, compulsory and voluntary readmissions were significantly lower in the CA group than in the VA group among patients with schizophrenia (log-rank test, P < 0.001).
conclusionsCA was associated with higher subsequent psychiatric readmissions, compulsory, and voluntary readmissions. Clinicians would need to focus on patients undergoing CAs to reduce readmissions.
