Article in Journal of psychiatric and mental health nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introduction'Pro re nata' (PRN) treatment, commonly prescribed in adolescent psychiatric inpatient units, is administered on an ad hoc basis to address specific symptoms. It is prescribed in advance and delivered by nurses when the situation requires it. QUESTION: This study aims to explore the lived experience of adolescents and nurses during the use of PRN treatment in adolescent psychiatric inpatient settings and to cross these perspectives.
methodThis qualitative study used a specific qualitative research method called Inductive Process to analyse the Structure of lived Experience (IPSE), a five-stage descriptive phenomenological approach based on an inductive process. IPSE was specifically designed for health research by methodologists with extensive experience in qualitative health research. The study followed the SRQR guidelines for qualitative research. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews.
resultsThe study included 14 adolescents and 12 nurses. Data analysis revealed a structure of experience with three axes: individual, relational and group. DISCUSSION: PRN treatment in inpatient settings contributes to the development of agency and empowerment for both adolescents and nurses. LIMITATIONS: This study was conducted in France, where PRN is referred to as 'si besoin' (if necessary), and was carried out within the unique context of an inpatient setting. RECOMMENDATIONS: The efficacy of PRN treatment should be evaluated not only for its therapeutic effects but also in consideration of the institutional and developmental factors surrounding its use.
