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 study sought to explore factors related to community transition after the mandatory evacuation of psychiatric inpatients to other hospitals owing to the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident. A retrospective cohort design was adopted and 391 psychiatric patients were examined. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to confirm the association between the achievement or non-achievement of discharge to community living and their backgrounds (age, gender, evacuation destination, psychiatric diagnoses, and physical complications). Multivariate analysis indicated that patients with psychiatric diagnoses of schizophrenia, schizotypal, and delusional disorders (International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems 10th revision, F20-29), and those with physical diagnoses of the circulatory (I00-95) and digestive (K00-93) systems showed a significant association with the non-attainment of community transition. From these results, we hypothesized that difficulties in the management of medication during and immediately after the extremely chaotic settings of evacuation could have negative effects on the community transitions. Furthermore, another possible concern was that individuals' persistent psychotic status before the accident had been carried over to the destination hospitals. Therefore, pre-disaster daily cooperation across hospitals and challenges for vulnerable psychiatric patients' future community lives are also essential.
