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

ObjectiveTo describe the need for specialised women's mental health services and the development of Australia's first women's mental health hospital service in the 21st century.ConclusionWomen in Australia experience a high level of violence and trauma. Compounding their past experiences with sexual violence, Australian and United States data indicate that a significant percentage of inpatients experience sexual violence during a psychiatric admission. Despite many reviews of mental health service provision, co-gendered wards, with noted incidents of assault against women inpatients, continue to be the usual mode of service in both the public and private healthcare sectors in Australia. Inpatient and community therapeutic programmes have not met the special needs of women. The establishment of Australia's first women-only mental health hospital at Cabrini Health in 2021 demonstrates the feasibility and value of a specialised, trauma-focused and holistic model of care. These developments highlight the urgent need for broader service reform to ensure safe inpatient facilities and gender-focused therapeutic programs for women.
