Patient-initiated brief admission: a single site eight-year retrospective cohort study.

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
objectivePatient-Initiated Brief Admission (PIBA) is an intervention designed to provide constructive crisis management for patients. The purpose of this study was to evaluate outcomes in healthcare utilisation and self-inflicted injuries at one Swedish Hospital where PIBA was implemented in late 2017.
methodsPatients who signed a PIBA-contract between 2017 and 2023 were included in the study. Data on inpatient care, contacts with the psychiatric emergency department and self-inflicted injuries that resulted in contact with medical care were collected from patients' medical records. Effects of PIBA were assessed using paired
resultsData from a total of 38 patients were analysed. There was a marked decrease in inpatient care from voluntary admissions in the first six months after initiation of PIBA. There was also a significant decrease in number of contacts with the psychiatric emergency department (for all patients) in the 1-year pre-post comparison, but not for the 0.5- and 2-year pre-post comparisons. There were no significant reductions in compulsory inpatient care or self-inflicted injuries in our cohort. Patients with contracts extending over several years appeared stable, on average, in their use of care and prevalence of intoxications.
conclusionThe main effect on inpatient care after initiation of PIBA was a reduction in voluntary admissions, coinciding with a shift from voluntary admissions in favour of PIBA. The results support a more widespread utilisation of PIBA from a health-economic perspective.
