Article in Case reports in psychiatry, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
An important aim of the new mental health act implemented in the Netherlands in 2020 was to shift the focus from hospitalization to treatment. The act provides an option for patients' compulsory treatment at home (CTH). Unlike compulsory community treatment (CCT), which allows mental health workers to hospitalize patients involuntarily if they do not comply with treatment. CTH is not provided elsewhere in the world. This case report concerns a patient who, to avoid hospitalization, received CTH in the form of compulsory medication and was able to recover at home. Retrospectively, she and the mental health team both positively evaluated this use of CTH. The parties involved all concluded that CTH restricted the patient's autonomy less than hospitalization, it did not influence the therapeutic relationship, and the CTH could be delivered in a way that it did not compromise participants' safety. This case report shows that, in some situations, CTH can avoid hospitalization. Care should nonetheless be taken to assess its appropriateness, to discuss any preconditions, and to evaluate the use of compulsory treatment in dialog with the patient and significant others.
