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 mental health of incarcerated individuals is a widely recognized public health issue, but little is known about the mental health status of the incarcerated individuals upon release. This study aimed to measure the prevalence of psychiatric disorders and substance use disorders (SUDs) among incarcerated men scheduled to be released from jail soon.
methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional national survey from September 2020 to September 2022 across 26 jails (selected at random) in France. Each participant was interviewed within 30 days prior to their release
resultsA total of 579 individuals were included in the analysis (participation rate: 66.2%). The prevalence of mood disorders, anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, and psychotic episodes were 30.7% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 27.1%-34.6%), 28.7% (95% CI: 25.1%-32.5%), 11.1% (95% CI: 8.8%-13.9%), and 10.5% (95% CI: 8.3%-13.3%), respectively. Additionally, almost half of the individuals had an SUD, and dual disorders were identified in 21.9% (95% CI: 18.8%-25.5%) of the cases. The analysis of mental health care pathways raised questions about access to certain types of care, such as full-time psychiatric hospitalization while in prison, as well as questions about the continuity of care upon release.
conclusionsThis study shows that the mental health of incarcerated men who are scheduled to be released soon is precarious. Complex mental health problems, particularly dual disorders, are common and require better coordination between mental health care systems in prisons and the community.
