Medical comorbid diagnoses among adult psychiatric inpatients.
Article in General hospital psychiatry. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 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
objectiveShortened life expectancy of people with mental disorders has been attributed to medical comorbidities, yet these conditions remain under-recognized and under-treated. This study characterizes the medical demands placed on inpatient psychiatric units to help guide medical assessment and management practices in these settings.
methodsMedicaid claims records and clinician data were linked with hospital and regional data for individuals with a principal diagnosis of any mental disorder admitted to psychiatric inpatient units in New York State from 2012 to 2013. A modified Elixhauser Comorbidity Index (ECI) score was calculated for each unique individual (n = 14,458). Adjusted odds ratios (AORs) of having a medical comorbidity were calculated using logistic regression analyses.
results74.9% of psychiatric inpatients had at least one medical comorbidity, including 57.5% of people ages 18-24. Higher rates of medical comorbidity were associated with older age, female gender, non-schizophrenia diagnoses, and engagement in care prior to hospitalization. Patients with medical comorbidities had lower odds (AOR 0.54; 99% CI 0.35-0.83) of being treated in hospitals with 100 or more total beds compared to smaller hospitals.
conclusionsA high prevalence of common medical diagnoses among psychiatric inpatients underscores the importance of adequate detection and medical treatment of medical comorbidities in psychiatric inpatient settings.
