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

There is a significant unmet need for mental health services in the United States. Many communities have responded to the unmet need by creating mobile crisis response programs. Enhanced understanding of the differences and common themes in mobile crisis response programs will guide efforts to construct frameworks for successful future program development. This review aims to characterize the current state of the industry among mobile crisis response teams.

methodsWe employed a scoping review methodology to explore the state of the work in mobile crisis response.

resultsOverall, the results of the review illustrate that mobile crisis response programs are a promising development in mental health care, but they are still largely in the early stages of implementation. While many programs show potential in reducing the burden on local agencies and providing more appropriate care for individuals in crisis, there are sill many significant challenges to address.

conclusionAs mobile crisis response continues to expand nationwide, future work should focus on developing long-term outcome measures and creating frameworks for integration with broader social services.
