Are Small Teams a Viable Strategy to Deliver Early Psychosis Intervention Services in Rural Areas? An Ontario Fidelity Study.
Article in Healthcare policy = Politiques de sante, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Early psychosis intervention (EPI) is a complex model of care designed to be delivered by a large multidisciplinary team. However, in practice, it is often delivered by very small teams, particularly in rural areas. This study analyzed fidelity data from over half of Ontario EPI programs (n = 24) to compare model fidelity in programs with smaller (≤2.1 staff) and larger (≥4.3 staff) teams. Few differences were identified, suggesting that small teams may be a viable option to deliver the EPI model, although both large and small teams were challenged to deliver almost a third of the elements of care.
