Does implementing care farms in psychiatric hospitals prevent staff burnout? A pragmatic, mixed-method pilot study.
Article in BMC research notes, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
objectiveThe purpose of this study was to implement a comprehensive intervention incorporating agricultural and horticultural activities in a psychiatric hospital, to assess the feasibility of this intervention, and to measure its impact on both staff and patients. We used a mixed-methods approach, including quantitative data from a self-administered questionnaire, qualitative data from meeting minutes, and semi-structured interviews to examine the feasibility and impact of the intervention.
resultsThe implementation of agricultural and horticultural activities within a hospital setting was possible by carefully listening to the preferences and opinions of the staff and by establishing step-by-step multidisciplinary meetings and projects. This approach promoted staff-led agricultural and horticultural activities. Ultimately, agricultural and horticultural activities became programs that could be implemented year-round, and collaboration with another facility was established. Over eight months, emotional exhaustion among staff also decreased, and patients provided positive feedback. The limitations of this study include its single-site design.
