Universal healthcare coverage for first episode of schizophrenia-spectrum disorders in Chile: analysis of the administrative database.
Article in European archives of psychiatry and clinical neuroscience, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Aim of the study was to analyse the Ministry of Health's (MINSAL) administrative database of the Universal Health Coverage (UHC) program for First Episode of Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorders (FEP-SSD). The database included every case registered in the program between 2004 and 2017. According to the timeframes established for permanence in the program, cases were defined as Suspected, FEP in diagnostic observation and FEP-SSD. Only first registers were analysed. We compared gender, age at entry, level of care and region where the case was registered. Denominator data for estimation of incidence rates were obtained from the last census. We adjusted incidence rate ratios by age, gender, and region. During the studied period, 33.207 suspected cases were registered. 27.006 (81%) were confirmed as FEP and after 6-month follow-up, 22.701 (68%) were confirmed as FEP-SSD. The median age at entry was 24 years, males entering at younger age. Male proportion was higher than female in all groups. 46.9% of all cases were detected in primary care. FEP-SSD cases were six years younger and had a higher proportion of males than discarded cases (62.6 vs 53.2%). During 169.4 million person-years at risk, crude incidence for suspected cases was 19.58 per 100.000 person-years; for FEP, 15.92 per 100.000 person-years and for FEP-SSD, 13.38 per 100.000 person-years. Chile has lower incidence of FEP-SSD compared to current world estimations but gender proportions are comparable. This UHC program has allowed early access through the integration of mental health to the health network at all levels of care.
