1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundIn Italy, a growing number of people with severe mental illness (SMI) require care in residential facilities (RFs), a key component of the care pathway. However, despite their development, studies about resident samples have been very few.

aimsThis study, the VALERE-REC Study (eVALuation of outcomE in Residential-use of clinical data with REsearch objeCtives) aims to identify the characteristics that increase the probability to move patients living in RFs to a more independent setting.

methodsA survey involved 167 patients hosted in 25 RFs of the Verona Mental Health Department. Forty-five patients were residents (27%) in Comunità Terapeutico Riabilitativa Protetta (CTRP); 56 (34%) in Comunità Alloggio (CA), 14 (8%) in Gruppo Appartamento Protetto (GAP), 52 (31%) in Comunità Alloggio Estensiva (CAE). They were assessed for their care pathway after 30-months. The Quality Indicators for Rehabilitative Care-Supported Accommodation (QuIRC-SA) evaluated the quality of 19/25 (76%) RFs. Descriptive analyses were done.

resultsAccording to the mission stated by the Veneto Region guidelines, RFs hosted patients with different needs and clinical profiles. The mean stay was longer than expected, most patients were unemployed, unmet needs were related to self-management and patient's social contacts, and recovery-oriented practices were not implemented.

conclusionsDespite the appropriate admission of patients in different RFs considering their psychopathology, functioning, and needs, the progressive step care pathway did not result effectively pursued. To improve the effectiveness of residential interventions a major task should be to focus on the acquisition of the necessary skills to live independently.
