Longitudinal Outcomes of the top 20 Utilizers of VA Connecticut's Psychiatric Emergency Services Between 2010 and 2020.
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
Frequent utilizers of emergency services represent a clinically important cohort with potentially unmet health care needs despite demanding a high volume of costly services. However, not much is known about their longitudinal course. This study identified the top 20 utilizers of VA Connecticut's psychiatric emergency services and conducted a chart review of their longitudinal outcomes during an 11-year period between 2010 and 2020, including their visit diagnoses, medical and psychiatric comorbidities, and types and frequency of other medical services and supports received. At the index visit, 19 of the 20 patients had substance use disorder and 14 patients had at least one non-substance psychiatric diagnosis. Despite all patients receiving primary care and other services, such as residential treatments, outpatient therapy, and social work consults, 11 of the 12 patients remaining alive and residing in the state continued to utilize psychiatric emergency services in 2020, revealing a pattern of persistent use.
