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

The Department of Veterans Affairs requires integrated mental health (MH) services across programs, including 132 facility nursing homes (community living centers, CLCs). As part of a national survey of CLC MH providers in the fall of 2022, which aimed to characterize CLC MH practice patterns and service integration, information was also shared regarding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in CLC. The aim of this article was to present qualitative feedback from CLC MH providers regarding MH service integration and interdisciplinary teamwork in the CLC during the pandemic. Response rate to the entire survey was 48%. Out of the 107 survey participants, 82 responded to open-ended survey questions; of these, 71 (87%) were psychologists, and 11 (13%) were psychiatric providers. This analysis focuses on presents two major themes: (a) impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on CLC MH providers, staff, and veterans and (b) importance of team morale and functioning. In their feedback, CLC MH providers emphasized the importance of broad stakeholder engagement, including MH providers, in addressing a public health crisis in ways that optimize person-centered care, strong interdisciplinary team functioning, and support from leaders. Findings highlight the importance of MH integration in the nursing home setting, especially during times of crisis such as the pandemic. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2026 APA, all rights reserved).
