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

backgroundPsychosocial interventions for people with mental illness are increasingly focusing on facilitating recovery and self-care. Despite evidence from Europe on the short-term effects of recovery self-planning programs for people discharged from crisis resolution teams, similar programs and supporting evidence in other countries or healthcare contexts are lacking, particularly regarding cultural adaptation and long-term assessment. This randomized controlled trial compared a 4-month peer-facilitated, recovery-focused self-illness management (Peer-RESIM) program for Chinese adults with first-episode psychosis with psychoeducation (PE) and treatment as usual (TAU).

methodsPatients (

resultsThe generalized estimating equation test revealed that the Peer-RESIM group reported significantly greater improvements in recovery, functioning, problem-solving ability, psychotic symptoms, average duration of rehospitalizations, and service satisfaction (

conclusionsThe Peer-RESIM can enhance long-term recovery and self-care in adults with early-stage psychosis.
