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

Is there really 'no decision about me without me'? This concept of shared decision-making is increasingly supported in the UK National Health Service and is to be welcomed. But the attempt to apply guidelines based on Western physical health settings to all psychiatric patients, across different cultural backgrounds, is problematic. Methodological difficulties when trying to apply the gold standard of randomised controlled trials to the real-life settings of mental health should be considered, especially when many patients with serious mental health problems are excluded, having been deemed to 'lack capacity'. Should guidelines originating in physical healthcare settings really be applied to mental health ones? Does one size really fit all?
