Assessment of the efficacy of a Crisis Intervention Team (CIT): experience in the Esplugues Mental Health Center (Barcelona).
Observational study in Social psychiatry and psychiatric epidemiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
aimCrisis Resolution Teams (CRT) have shown positive clinical and service-use results in various countries but evidence in the south of Europe is scarce. The aim is to assess the impact of the Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) in Spain with respect to the course of symptomatology and mental health services use in patients served.
methodsProspective observational cohort study. Assessment of the psychopathological severity (HoNOS scale) of the clinical course (CGI scale) and use of medical services.
resultsA positive clinical course was observed following the intervention. The mean difference in HoNOS (Health of the Nation Outcome Scales) scores between baseline and discharge was 7 points (p < 0.05). On discharge, more than 60% of patients had improved their symptomatology according to the CGI scale (Clinical Global Impression) and most were discharged due to improvement or goal achievement. A tendency to reduction in the number of admissions to acute units and day hospital was observed, along with fewer emergency room visits. In contrast, an increase in the number of admissions to subacute units was seen. During the intervention, the median number of visits to the center was 15 and the median duration of care provision by the CIT was 39 days.
conclusionsThe CIT intervention promotes patients' clinical improvement and has a positive impact in terms of reducing acute hospitalizations and emergency room visits.
