Transition of Mental Health Services from Institutional to Community-Based Care Abroad and Its Context for Slovenia-Advantages and Risks.
Synthesis in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Deinstitutionalization is a transition from psychiatric hospitals and other mental health institutions as the primary setting for treatment of individuals with chronic mental health disorders to a range of services, including psychiatric care, that support independent functioning of an individual within the community. The transition has been encouraged by guidelines from the European Expert Group and further specified in the Slovenian Resolution on the National Programme of Mental Health 2018-2028. This integrated systematic and narrative literature review includes 47 international articles from PubMed, along with information on Slovenian mental health legislation and its implementation, to provide insights into deinstitutionalization abroad and its relevance for Slovenia. Although the transition to community-based care is welcomed for promoting independence and respecting individuals' wants, there are cases where institutional care remains necessary to ensure safety and treatment during the exacerbation of chronic mental health disorders. The quality of care and outcomes generally improve with community-based care. However, the closure of institutions can lead to many unintended consequences, such as the revolving door phenomenon and transinstitutionalization. Both the advantages of community-based care and the important roles of mental health hospitals and other institutions are emphasized.
