Exploring Discharge Outcomes and Readmission Rates of Mothers Admitted to a Psychiatric Mother and Baby Unit.
Article in The Psychiatric quarterly, 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
To evaluate change in Health of the Nation Outcome Scale (HoNOS) scores from admission to discharge, readmission rates after 28-day and six months post-discharge, and factors associated with readmission in a Mother and Baby Unit (MBU). An exploratory cohort study was completed of mother-infant dyads admitted to a public psychiatric MBU in Australia between March 2017 and August 2018 (18 months). Admission and discharge scores on the clinician-rated Health of the Nation Outcome Scale (HoNOS) were compared using dependent samples t-tests. The frequency of readmission to any psychiatric inpatient unit within six months of discharge was determined from medical records. Characteristics of mothers who were and were not readmitted were evaluated. Of the 82 mother-infant dyads admissions, 12 (14.63%) women were readmitted within six months, and six (7.31%) were readmitted within 28-days. Total HoNOS scores significantly improved between admission and discharge (t
