Housing Status as a Predictor for Outpatient Care Following an Emergency or Urgent Care Encounter with a Behavioral Health Diagnosis: A Multivariable Analysis.
Article in Community mental health journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Individuals without stable housing experience high rates of mental illness and seek behavioral health care in emergency care settings. Little is known about the effect of homelessness on outpatient follow-up after utilizing emergency or urgent care for behavioral health care. Patient encounters with behavioral health diagnoses among 7 emergency department (ED) or urgent care (UC) locations over 4 years were used to determine the correlation between housing status and outpatient follow-up within 90 days. Of 1,160,386 visits by 269,615 unique patients, 55,738 (23%) encounters included a behavioral health diagnosis. Patients with stable housing were twice as likely to follow up with a primary care provider (PCP) and with an outpatient behavioral health provider than patients without housing (aOR 2.60; aOR 2.00, p < 0.0001). Homelessness is associated with difficulty in accessing follow-up behavioral health care. UCs and EDs may use specific interventions to improve outpatient follow-up.
