Characterization of psychiatric admissions in Huntington disease: A retrospective review.
Article in Journal of psychosomatic research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveNeuropsychiatric symptoms are common clinical features of Huntington disease (HD) that can result in mental health emergencies. However, there are no established guidelines for inpatient psychiatric treatment in HD. In this study, the investigators reviewed psychiatric hospitalizations in a large medical center to better understand the mental health needs of patients with HD and identify potential gaps in care.
methodsCharts were reviewed to identify patients with HD at Vanderbilt University Medical Center who were admitted to psychiatry between 2013 and 2020. Clinical data and demographic information were obtained from the electrical health record along with the indication for each psychiatric admission, actions taken during the admission, and follow-up care.
resultsAmong this cohort, 32 of 287 patients (11.1 %) were admitted to inpatient psychiatry at least once. Age at first admission ranged from 17 to 74 years, with 84.4 % of patients in the motor-manifest stage. The most common reasons for admission were suicidal ideation or attempt (57.6 %), psychosis (39.4 %), and aggression (36.4 %). Most patients were able to return to their previous level of care, although readmissions were common.
conclusionsThese results emphasize the frequency and severity of psychiatric crises in HD and support the need for expanded access to emergency psychiatry care across the disease course. Further research is warranted to develop an integrated, disease-specific approach to early recognition and management of psychiatric symptoms in HD.
