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
Background: Specialist services, such as geriatric psychiatric clinics, aim to provide a multi-disciplinary and person-centred approach. There is not enough information available about the number and type of such clinics in India. In this descriptive article, we aim to detail the services provided and the socio-demographic and clinical characteristics of patients who have attended a geriatric psychiatry outpatient clinic in southern India. Methods: A specific data sheet was used to record the socio-demographic and clinical details of patients attending the weekly geriatric psychiatry outpatient clinic at the Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences, Kozhikode. The clinic uses comprehensive proformas and assessment tools as appropriate. The Short Assessment of Patient Satisfaction scale was used to assess satisfaction with the services. Result: Between August 2023 and March 2024, 80 patients attended the geriatric psychiatry outpatient clinic. Men and women were equal in numbers (40, 50%). The mean age of the attendees was 68.91 ( Conclusions: A multi-disciplinary team ensures effective, holistic geriatric psychiatric care. High patient satisfaction highlights the importance of structured, person-centred approaches in mental health services for older adults.
