The Optimal Length of Hospitalization for Functional Recovery of Schizophrenia Patients, a Real-World Study in Chinese People.
Article in The Psychiatric quarterly, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
This study investigated the relationship between the activities of daily living and the length of hospitalization to determine the optimal length of hospitalization for patients with schizophrenia. We collected information from all schizophrenia patients discharged in Peking University Huilongguan Clinical Medical School from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015. A total of 1967 patients were enrolled in this study. The Chinese version of the modified Barthel index (MBI-C) was used to assess patients' actual performance on activities of daily living. We used the paired samples t-test to compare MBI-C scores at admission and discharge and performed correlation analysis to find the trend of MBI-C change with length of hospitalization. The average length of hospitalization was 73.3 ± 42.2 days. There were significant differences between the MBI-C scores at the time of discharge from hospital compared with those at the time of admission to the hospital (93.4 ± 11.2 vs. 88.7 ± 11.8; P < 0.001). Taking the length of hospitalization as the grouping boundary value, the correlation analysis of the subgroup found that below a minimum of 20 days, the improvement in the MBI-C scores increased with the increase of length of hospitalization, and above a maximum of 50 days, the improvement in the MBI-C scores decreased with the increase of length of hospitalization. The optimal length of hospitalization for patients with schizophrenia may lie between 20 and 50 days, with regard to the recovery of daily living function.
