Change in Clinical Risk Factors During Stay and Treatment in a Penitentiary Psychiatric Center.
Article in International journal of offender therapy and comparative criminology, 2025. 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
This study examines the changes in clinical risk factors among individuals treated in Dutch Penitentiary Psychiatric Centers (PPCs). Using data from 874 patients with diverse psychiatric disorders, clinical risk factors were assessed at admission and discharge. Slight but significant improvements were observed in most risk factors, particularly psychotic symptoms, over an average stay of approximately 6 months. Patients with psychotic or substance use disorders showed the most improvement, while those with mood, personality, or developmental disorders showed minimal change. The study highlights the positive impact of PPCs' structured, secure environment and specialized treatment, especially for psychotic disorders. It also underscores the complexity of treating patients with high rates of comorbidity. The findings suggest that the duration of stay does not significantly predict the improvement in most clinical risk factors. Future research should explore specific diagnostic clusters and their impact on treatment outcomes in PPCs.
