Established Outpatient Care and Follow-Up After Acute Psychiatric Service Use Among Youths and Young Adults.
Article in Psychiatric services (Washington, D.C.), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
objectiveThis study explored follow-up after hospitalization and emergency room (ER) use for mental health among youths and young adults with private insurance.
methodsThe IBM MarketScan commercial database (2013-2018) was used to identify people ages 12-27 with a mental health hospitalization (N=95,153) or ER use (N=108,576). Factors associated with outpatient mental health follow-up within 7 and 30 days of discharge were determined via logistic models with generalized estimating equations that accounted for state variation.
resultsOf those hospitalized, 42.7% received follow-up within 7 days (67.4% within 30 days). Of those with ER use, 28.6% received follow-up within 7 days (46.4% within 30 days). Type of established outpatient care predicted follow-up after hospitalization and ER use. Compared with people with no established care, the likelihood of receiving follow-up within 7 days was highest among those with mental health and primary care (hospitalization, adjusted odds ratio [AOR]=2.81, 95% confidence interval [CI]=2.68-2.94; ER use, AOR=4.06, 95% CI=3.72-4.42), followed by those with mental health care only (hospitalization, AOR=2.57, 95% CI=2.45-2.70; ER use, AOR=3.48, 95% CI=3.17-3.82) and those with primary care only (hospitalization, AOR=1.20, 95% CI=1.15-1.26; ER use, AOR=1.22, 95% CI=1.16-1.28). Similar trends were observed within 30 days of discharge.
conclusionsFollow-up rates after acute mental health service use among youths and young adults were suboptimal. Having established mental health care more strongly predicted receiving follow-up than did having established primary care. Improving engagement with outpatient mental health care providers may increase follow-up rates.
