Malpractice Liability Due to Patient Violence.
Article in Focus (American Psychiatric Publishing), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
In an era of mass shootings and increasing public fear, psychiatrists are more often being asked to assess whether an individual is safe to return to school or work. In addition, assessment of the individual's risk of violence is required in daily clinical decisions regarding the need for hospital care. Given the inherent difficulty in predicting violence, mental health clinicians worry about potential liability that could result from their patient committing a violent act. This article provides an overview of malpractice liability for patient violence, violence risk factors, and principles of violence risk assessment. The authors also offer some practical risk management strategies to reduce clinicians' risk of liability for violent acts by patients.
