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
introductionThe objective of this study was to examine group differences in healthcare contacts prior to a first diagnosis of non-affective psychotic disorders (NAPDs) comparing young refugees settled in Denmark and Sweden before turning 18 non-refugee migrants and native-born individuals.
methodsUsing nationwide register data, we identified all individuals aged 18-35 who received an NAPD diagnosis during 2006-2018. Healthcare contacts for other psychiatric disorders were categorised as inpatient, outpatient (grouped by discharge diagnosis) or dispensed antidepressant medication. Logistic regression was used in each country to compare contacts within 12 months prior to NAPD diagnosis, yielding odds ratios (OR) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI), while standardised prevalence ratios (SPR), reported in percentages, were used to compare healthcare contact across countries.
resultsWe included 11,679 individuals in Denmark and 11,088 in Sweden. The likelihood of prior contact of any type was lower in both countries for both refugees [Denmark: OR = 0.75(CI: 0.63, 0.90); Sweden: OR = 0.61(CI: 0.55, 0.68)] and non-refugee migrants [Denmark: OR = 0.78(CI: 0.64, 0.95); Sweden: OR = 0.55(CI: 0.49, 0.62)] compared with majority peers. The largest differences were observed for dispensed antidepressants in both countries [Denmark: OR
conclusionYoung refugees and non-refugee migrants in both Denmark and Sweden were less likely to have healthcare contact for other psychiatric disorders prior to NAPD onset than host populations. As healthcare contacts offer opportunities to identify treatment needs early, these groups may be vulnerable to delays in the pathway to treatment.
