1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

This article presents a study exploring structural biases within mental health organizations, in the context of person-centered care-an emerging framework for health systems globally. Findings revealed how surrounding institutional structures conditioned a powerful influence on clinical operations, in which there is a risk for clients to be systemically seen as a non-person, that is, as a racialized or bureaucratic object. Specifically, the article elucidates how racial profiles could become determinants of care within institutions; and how another, covert form of institutional objectification could emerge, in which clients became reduced to unseen bureaucratic objects. Findings illuminated a basic psychosocial process through which staff could become unwitting carriers of systemic agenda and intentionality-a type of "bureaucra-think"-and also how some providers pushed against this climate. These findings, and emergent novel concepts, add to the severely limited research on institutional bias and racism within psychological science.
