Transition Experiences Following Psychiatric Hospitalization: A systematic Review of the Literature.
Synthesis in Community mental health journal, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 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
The period immediately following discharge after inpatient stay for mental illness has been found to be the time of greatest risk for adverse outcomes (e.g., rehospitalization, relapse, suicide). However, the experiences of patients as they transition from the hospital to the community are not well understood. The purpose of the present review was to systematically search and synthesize the literature examining the transition experiences of individuals following inpatient psychiatric stay. A systematic search was conducted for studies examining the experiences of patients as they transition back into their communities, using qualitative or quantitative methods. Qualitative articles were analyzed using thematic content analysis. Quantitative articles were extracted and summarized. The search identified 1614 abstracts, of which 27 (18 qualitative; 9 quantitative) were included in the review. The results of the analysis identified themes necessary for transition including safety, supported autonomy, and the opportunity to engage in a number of reintegration activities. A number of barriers were found that prevent integration, such as poverty, interpersonal difficulties, and stigma. The results highlight the disconnect that occurs for patients as they transition from hospital, pointing to the need for effective transitional interventions that target these challenges.
