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

objectiveRecent federal investments have accelerated a nationwide transformation of the behavioral health crisis care (BHCC) system, raising pertinent questions about quality and effectiveness. In response to calls to collect more data and define outcomes for assessing BHCC, this study sought to identify patient-centered outcomes (PCOs) from the perspectives of individuals with lived experience of a behavioral disorder and individuals who have delivered BHCC services.

methodsVia a multiphased recruitment approach, qualitative interviews were conducted with 120 stakeholders: peers with lived experience (N=21), direct-service providers (N=47), program directors and managers (N=44), and executive leaders (N=8). All interview transcripts were analyzed by using an open coding approach to generate emerging themes that captured measurable components of BHCC and outcomes of interest meaningful to stakeholders.

resultsA PCO framework for evaluating BHCC was developed by mapping emerging themes to a conceptual framework adapted from Donabedian's structure-process-outcome model. Forty-five themes were identified and grouped under five domains: system structure, system implementation, system use, social outcomes, and health outcomes.

conclusionsAlthough further efforts are needed to engage patients and providers in the process of developing specific measures, this framework provides a starting point for PCO research on BHCC.
