Recidivism rates of female offenders discharged from forensic psychiatric treatment.

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
Objective: Recidivism rates comprise an essential component in comprehensive risk assessment and should reflect the specific reference group of the individual being assessed. For female offenders with mental disorders, recidivism rates are nearly nonexistent. The goal of this study is to report offense- and disorder-related recidivism rates for the understudied group of female offenders discharged from forensic psychiatric treatment. Method: The sample consisted of 525 German patients released from placement orders according to Section 63 ( Results: With average times at risk of 8.5 and 5.3 years for each placement order, we observed general recidivism rates of 19% and 46%, and violent recidivism rates of 8% and 12%. Offense-related recidivism rates showed high numbers for property offenders, threateners, and arsonists. Disorder-related recidivism rates revealed that a comorbidity of schizophrenia and alcohol use disorder increased the risk of general reoffending eightfold (Exp[ Conclusion: The results provide rare recidivism data for risk assessment of female offenders with mental disorders and underscore the protective effect of forensic psychiatric treatment, including forensic aftercare, on recidivism.
