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

Optimal care of people with severe mental illness has always been a challenge. Deinstitutionalization in the second half of the twentieth century paved the way for community programs to help improve the lives of people with mental illness. However, a significant minority of people with severe mental illness continue to fail community housing and rehabilitative services and are falling through the cracks. They often end up in jails, prisons, streets, long-term inpatient psychiatric units, or are frequently admitted to acute inpatient units, leading to the revolving door phenomenon. This paper discusses the current challenges and shortcomings of the available programs for people with severe mental illness and proposes alternative care options for those who fall through the cracks. We propose to establish supportive housing attached to the long-term inpatient units for people with severe mental illness who fail other community programs.
