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.

Abstract
objectiveMany adults with serious mental illness have significant medical illness burden and poor illness self-management. In this study, the authors examined Living Well, a group-based illness self-management intervention for adults with serious mental illness that was cofacilitated by two providers, one of whom has lived experience with co-occurring mental health and medical conditions.
methodsAdults with serious mental illness (N=242) were randomly assigned to Living Well or an active control condition. Participants completed assessments of quality of life; health attitudes; self-management behaviors; and symptoms at baseline, posttreatment, and follow-up. Emergency room use was assessed by means of chart review. Mixed-effects models examined group × time interactions on outcomes.
resultsCompared with the control group, adults in Living Well had greater improvements at posttreatment in mental health-related quality of life (t=2.15, p=.032), self-management self-efficacy (t=4.10, p<.001), patient activation (t=2.08, p=.038), internal health locus of control (t=2.01, p=.045), behavioral and cognitive symptom management (t=2.77, p=.006), and overall psychiatric symptoms (t=-2.02, p=.044); they had greater improvements at follow-up in physical activity-related self-management (t=2.55, p=.011) and relationship quality (t=-2.45, p=.015). No effects were found for emergency room use. The control group exhibited greater increases in physical health-related quality of life at posttreatment (t=-2.23, p=.026). Significant group differences in self-management self-efficacy (t=2.86,p=.004) and behavioral and cognitive symptom management (t=2.08, p= .038) were maintained at follow-up.
conclusionsCompared with an active control group, a peer-cofacilitated illness self-management group was more effective in improving quality of life and self-management self-efficacy among adults with serious mental illness.
