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

Background and Objectives: To examine neurologists' practices in managing mental health care. The study aims to identify gaps in coordination between neurology and mental health care and to assess neurologists' perspectives on integrating mental health services into neurology clinics. Methods: A mixed-methods approach was used, combining survey data and qualitative interviews of key informants. The survey assessed management strategies for psychiatric comorbidities through 3 hypothetical cases and questions regarding referral patterns, accessibility of mental health professionals, and perceived effectiveness of mental health care. Chi-square tests were conducted to compare responses by location (the United States vs international) and specialty (general neurology, subspecialist neurology, and neuropsychiatry). Results: Significant differences in follow-up plans (χ Discussion: Most neurologists favor integrating mental health services within neurology clinics, underscoring the need for better care coordination. Despite the global effort to integrate mental health in primary care, these findings suggest a need to consider alternative models in coordinating mental health care.
