Responsive mental health systems to address the poverty, homelessness and mental illness nexus: The Banyan experience from India.
Article in International journal of mental health systems, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
backgroundMental health has gained prominence as a global public health priority. However, a substantial treatment gap persists in many low- and middle-income countries. Within this scenario, the nexus between homelessness, poverty and mental illness represents a particularly complex issue. This article presents the experience of The Banyan, a 25 years old non-profit organisation providing mental health care to people living in poverty in Tamil Nadu, India. CASE PRESENTATION: The case study describes the evolution of The Banyan using a timeline narrative. By applying an action learning framework, the organisation's evolution through four lifecycles, strategy and the key elements underlying mental health system responses are identified and presented. 'User centred' and 'service integration' emerge as the main dimensions of The Banyan's responsive health system. Relating to these two attributes, a typology of services is derived, indicating the responsiveness of mental health systems in addressing complex problems. The role of the organisational culture and the expressed values during the transition is considered.
conclusionsThe case study serves as an example of how responsive mental health systems may be constructed with both a user centred and a service integration focus.
