The Brain Medicine Clinic: two cases highlighting the advantages of integrative care.

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
backgroundCurrent assessment and management models often do not adequately address the many aspects of managing complex brain disorders involving disordered affect, behaviour and cognition (ABC). A more collaborative model of care, where several specialties can jointly assess and manage patients with complex brain disorders, is gaining attention.
aimsIn this case report, we present two cases that highlight the benefits of the 'brain medicine' clinical model.
methodThe Brain Medicine Clinic employs an integrated clinical model in which psychiatrists and neurologists provide integrated interdisciplinary assessments of patients with complex brain disorders, leading to comprehensive assessment. We describe the clinical model and the trajectories of two patients with complex brain disorders seen in this clinic. In these case descriptions, we explain how the brain medicine clinical approach leads to an improved patient experience.
resultsThe Brain Medicine Clinic assessments resulted in a neurobiopsychosocial formulation of symptoms and, consequently, holistic individualised treatment plans for two patients with complex brain disorders. This approach to patients' conditions emerges from the understanding that there are multifactorial causes of brain disorders at the social, cultural, psychological and biological level.
conclusionsIntegrated interdisciplinary assessments allow for tailored treatment plans for individuals experiencing complex brain disorders, while creating efficiencies for the patient and the healthcare system.
