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

Introduction: Medical Psychiatry Units (MPUs) offer integrated care for patients needing both medical and mental healthcare in hospitals. MPUs provide unique care not covered by Psychiatric Consultation-Liaison Services (PCS). Despite their increasing number, little research exists on why referrers choose MPUs, though their perspectives shape patient populations and reflect MPU goals. Aims: Method: We conducted interviews with physicians and analyzed questionnaires on MPU or PCS referrals from November 2020 to May 2021. Results: Conclusion: The Erasmus MC MPU meets its founding goals. Physicians recognize its added value, particularly in managing patients with disruptive behaviors and high care needs. The integration of medical and psychiatric expertise has fulfilled expectations.
