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
In order to ensure the feasibility of a nationwide annual survey of patients in forensic psychiatry, a pilot study was conducted to collect data from the entire § 63 StGB patient population of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. Staff of the participating hospitals completed an online questionnaire on biographical, clinical and legal data that were analyzed descriptively. The data collection process was monitored and critically reviewed.Data on 145 patients (mean age 42 years) was collected. Schizophrenia was most frequently diagnosed, about half of the patients had a comorbid substance use disorder. Length of stay was longer compared to the German average. Notable is the low proportion of evidence-based treatment programs.The pilot showed that a nationwide survey of forensic-psychiatric patients is feasible and challenges can be overcome. The focus should be on therapies offered and their impact on otcomes.
