1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 case study describes the "Entrelaços" Peer Support Program, a psychoeducational program of a psychiatric institution in the city of Rio de Janeiro that admitted, between 2011 and 2019, 246 people comprising family members and patients to participate in eight educational seminars followed by multifamily problem-solving groups in cycles that were 18 months in duration. Ninety percent of the participants who completed the program decided to create 7 mutual-help groups in the community independent of technicians and the institution. Community groups have already served spontaneously more than 214 families. They have organized scientific, social and anti-stigma events, expanded their social support network and demonstrated empowerment by switching from service users to peer providers to receive new families. This work is based on a pioneering model in Brazil that integrates psychoeducation with problem-solving therapy, spreading the benefits of education and peer-support with lower cost and greater representativeness.
