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

backgroundSchizophrenia is a complex mental health condition that affects an individual's thoughts, perceptions, emotions, and behavior. Recovery from schizophrenia is not solely defined by symptom reduction, but also by the ability to lead a meaningful and fulfilling life within the community. Recovery-oriented approaches emphasize hope, empowerment, social inclusion, and the rebuilding of identity. In Southeast Asia, community-based interventions play a crucial role in supporting individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia through culturally relevant, accessible, and holistic care.

aimThis scoping review aims to explore the types and characteristics of community-based recovery interventions implemented for individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia in Southeast Asia, specifically in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand.

methodsA scoping review was conducted following Arksey and O'Malley's framework. Literature searches were performed in five databases: Scopus, PubMed, CINAHL, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. Keywords included "recovery", "intervention", "community-based", "schizophrenia", "psychiatric", and "psychosis". Inclusion criteria were: (1) studies involving individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia (2), studies conducted in Indonesia, Malaysia, or Thailand (3), articles published in English or Indonesian between 2014 and 2024, and (4) studies focusing on recovery-related outcomes. A qualitative descriptive analysis was used to synthesize findings.

resultsA total of 10 eligible articles were included. The studies explored a variety of community-based recovery interventions, such as psychoeducation programs, empowerment and self-management training, forgiveness therapy, horticultural therapy, web-based cognitive training, and psychosocial interventions including relaxation techniques and mindfulness-based self-awareness. These interventions were found to enhance patients' knowledge, coping skills, social functioning, and overall quality of life.

conclusionCommunity-based recovery interventions in Southeast Asia show promise in supporting individuals with schizophrenia in their recovery journey. These approaches address not only clinical symptoms but also social and psychological well-being. Further research is needed to evaluate the long-term effectiveness, cultural adaptability, and sustainability of such interventions in diverse community settings.
