Why We Come: Clubhouse Members Seek Connection, Purpose and Meaning.
Article in Community mental health journal, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Approximately 4.5% of U.S. adults live with a serious mental illness (SMI) (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, 2018). Creating a place for people seeking structure, connection, and purpose following psychiatric hospitalization or for mental health recovery is difficult given several factors associated with illness trajectories, lack of community-based support programs, and reliance on traditional models of care. Using semi-structured interviews, the current study examined the reasons people attend community programs referred to as psychosocial "clubhouses." Interviews with 140 people across 10 clubhouse programs in one state were conducted. Qualitative analyses revealed that social connections and the need to reduce social isolation were driving forces for attending. Further, individuals noted that the "structure" of engaging in meaningful activities and roles was a main reason for participating. Authors discuss the continued need for community models that provide a "place" for all people to successfully engage and recover from psychiatric illnesses.
