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

objectiveAccess to psychiatry services in Kashmir is challenging because of active enduring conflict, insecurity and a fundamental role played by the traditional health workers. We aimed to assess the main pathways to mental health services in Kashmir, India.

methodsThis cross-sectional hospital-based study was performed from March 2012 to June 2017 in the outpatient psychiatry department at a psychiatric disease hospital in Kashmir. A convenience sampling method was used to select newly referred patients to the services. A survey was developed to collect information on demographic data and the main pathways for patients when seeking care for mental disorders.

resultsA total of 518 patients were interviewed. About half of the respondents (48.8 %) attended clinical consultation from a general pathway like a physician or a neurologist, while 31.8% were visiting a psychiatrist for a significant psychiatric disorder. For some patients (17.8%), their initial pathway to mental health services is traditional healers.

conclusionThe current study revealed different pathways to seeking psychiatric care in Kashmir India. Further studies are needed to address the treatment gap and ways to improve access to mental health services for the Kashmir population.
