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

introductionPatient experiences of recovery-oriented nursing practices in psychiatric inpatient care are understudied. Steps Towards Recovery (STR) is a nursing-led programme developed to promote personal recovery through empowering each patient's ability to identify resources, find solutions and gain control over one's life.

aimThe aim was to evaluate patients' experiences of participating in STR.

methodInterviews with 18 patients participating in STR group sessions at a psychiatric inpatient clinic. Data were inductively analysed with applied thematic analysis.

resultsThree themes were identified. STR group sessions, with the manual-based contents, seem beneficial for taking the first steps towards a personal recovery process. Participants described an increased ability to see things from different angles, could focus their thoughts more positively, and underlined the importance of maintaining these strategies after discharge. Group leaders' skills related to psychiatric inpatient care were also reflected on. DISCUSSION: STR seems to promote personal recovery. Psychiatric inpatient care requires group leaders trained in STR with competence to manage advanced psychiatric nursing care. LIMITATIONS: Data were collected at one clinic, decreasing transferability. IMPLICATIONS: Recovery-oriented programmes in psychiatric wards can support patients' first steps towards recovery. RECOMMENDATIONS: Nursing-led programmes supporting personal recovery should be implemented in psychiatric wards.
