Increasing community engagement: Skills used by adults with schizophrenia participating in a psychosocial intervention.
Article in Psychiatric rehabilitation journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectiveWe present findings from a qualitative study aimed at understanding the experiences of Veterans with schizophrenia and negative symptoms who participated in trial of an intervention to increase social and community participation called Engaging in Community Roles and Experiences (EnCoRE). Our goal was to understand what participants (N = 36) perceived they learned in EnCoRE, how participants used what they learned in their daily lives, and if and how participants built on these experiences in ways that might lead to sustained change.
methodOur analysis approach was inductive (bottom up), drawing on interpretive phenomenological analysis (IPA; Conroy, 2003), plus some top-down examination of the role of EnCoRE elements in participants' accounts.
resultsWe identified three themes: (a) Learning skills led to increased comfort talking to people and planning activities; (b) Increased comfort led to increased confidence to try new things; and (c) The group atmosphere offered support and accountability that helped participants practice and refine new skills. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: The process of learning skills, planning to use them, implementing them, and returning to the group for input helped many surmount feelings of low interest and low motivation. Our findings support having proactive discussions with patients about how building confidence can support improved social and community participation.
