Preferences for family involvement among veterans in treatment for schizophrenia.
Article in Psychiatric rehabilitation journal, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
objectiveExamine preferences for family involvement in psychiatric care in a large, representative sample of veterans in treatment for schizophrenia.
methodVeterans with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder (
resultsAmong the 801 participants, 496 (61.9%) indicated that they had a family member who provided them with regular support; 304 (37.9%) had no family member who provided support; and 1 did not respond. Among the 304 without support, 272 (89.4%) had a living family member. Of the 496 participants who had a supportive family member, 135 (27.2%) wanted their family member involved in their care. Of the 272 participants who did not have a supportive family member, but had living family, 57 (21.0%) wanted their family involved. Barriers to involvement included concerns about privacy and burden. Preferred method of involvement included contact with the patient's psychiatrist and education about the illness. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: Preferences indicated by this large representative sample of individuals in care for schizophrenia indicate that a majority have supportive family and a substantial minority want family involved in their psychiatric care. Clinicians can address concerns about privacy and burden and deliver preferred services by phone or mail, overcoming anticipated barriers. Desire for family support groups was limited but present.
