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

Community integration is central to recovery for individuals with severe mental illnesses (SMIs). However, cross-national research on community experiences of persons with SMIs is limited. Utilizing quantitative and social network data from a sample of individuals with SMIs, the current study (1) examined the social networks and experiences of community integration in India (n = 56) and (2) compared India and U.S. (n = 30) participants on social network characteristics, community integration, and psychosocial functioning. Results showed significant differences in demographic and psychosocial functioning between the samples. Regarding community integration, U.S. participants were more integrated into the mental health community than Indian participants. Differences in social networks revealed that Indian participants had significantly more family members and colleagues while U.S. participants had significantly more friends. Results suggest that caution be taken in generalizing mental health research cross-nationally and highlight the importance of sociocultural contexts of recovery and community integration of individuals with SMIs.
