Disparities in the Use of General Somatic Care among Individuals Treated for Severe Mental Disorders and the General Population in France.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Individuals with severe mental illnesses (SMI) face a striking excess and premature mortality which has been demonstrated in several national contexts. This phenomenon, which constitutes a red-flag indicator of public health inequities, can be hypothesized to result from healthcare access issues which have been insufficiently documented so far. In this context, our objective was to explore patterns of general somatic healthcare use of individuals treated for SMI in comparison to those of the general population in France using national health administrative data and a matched case-control study. Differences in the use of general and specific somatic preventive care services, primary care, routine specialized somatic care and admissions to non-psychiatric hospital departments for somatic causes were described between cases and controls after adjustment on differing clinical needs, socio-economic status, and living environment. Our results show a lower use of general preventive care services and of routine specialized somatic care in the SMI population, despite more frequent comorbidities, and a higher occurrence of avoidable hospitalizations, despite higher contacts with primary care physicians. These findings suggest that the health system fails to address the specific needs of this vulnerable population and support the development of measures aimed at reducing this gap.
