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
The Central Institute of Psychiatry (CIP), Ranchi, has been a cornerstone of Indian psychiatry since its founding in 1918, pioneering therapies, psychopharmacology, child and community mental health services, and training generations of psychiatrists. It was central to establishing the Indian Psychiatric Society and shaping psychiatric departments nationwide. Despite its historic legacy, CIP now faces a slow decline marked by chronic underfunding, unfulfilled infrastructure promises, vacant faculty positions, bureaucratic interference, and disrupted clinical services, including irregular ECT, limited radiology, and overburdened OPDs. Bureaucratic interference and side-lining of senior faculty have further weakened leadership and morale. Patients, especially from Bihar, Jharkhand, and Bengal, bear the burden of inadequate services. Immediate actions and reforms are essential, including granting autonomy, upgrading infrastructure, filling faculty vacancies, safeguarding core therapies, and establishing super-specialty programs. Preserving CIP is crucial to sustain the legacy and future of Indian psychiatry.
