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
backgroundThe bidirectional phenomenon of homelessness and Mental Illness (MI) creates a vicious circle that is hard to escape. In India, Homeless Women with Severe Mental Illness (HWSMI) often rely on institutional care due to the absence of family or community alternatives, which distances them from socio-economic, cultural, political resources and the right to live with dignity. Hence, there is a need to develop a model that will help reintegrate HWSMI into the community.
aimWe aimed to develop and validate (content and face validity) a supported housing programme (SHP) for HWSMI in Bengaluru, India.
methodWe developed the SHP using 1) a needs assessment from HWSMI (n = 14), 2) qualitative interviews with Mental Health Professionals (MHPs) (n = 18), and 3) visits to organizations (n = 3) involved in reintegration and supported housing for HWSMI. We articulated a Theory of Change (ToC) for the program. Three international experts and seven Indian experts reviewed the same.
resultsFive themes- Causes of homelessness/barriers to reintegration, consequences of homelessness, models/processes, facilitators, and needs of HWSMI and eighty sub-themes emerged from the qualitative thematic analysis of the interviews and observational visits. The themes and subthemes were organized as interventions in each phase of the SHP: Interventions in the tertiary care setting, transit home, and community.
conclusionWe describe the development and validation of a comprehensive need-based SHP. We will implement and test the feasibility of the SHP for HWSMI.
