Article in The Psychiatric quarterly, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
The Open Dialogue approach was developed in Finland as a form of psychotherapy and a way to organize mental health systems. Open Dialogue has drawn global interest leading to adaptations worldwide, including in Vermont-US where it is called Collaborative Network Approach. Our study aimed to investigate the experiences of families who received Collaborative Network Approach in two agencies in Vermont. Qualitative interviews were conducted with 17 persons receiving services. Seven themes emerged: 1) network focus, 2) decision-making, 3) structure of care, 4) use of reflections, 5) medications, 6) hospitalizations, 7) challenges. Our study provides evidence that CNA is well-received, appreciated, and for many people an empowering form of mental health care. The findings suggest that elements of Open Dialogue are highly consistent with the vision for recovery-oriented care, in that they are flexible, person-centered, encourage processes of negotiation, and highlight the importance of family and social supports in care.
