Patient engagement and connection to care in a telehealth behavioral health crisis care program: an implementation evaluation.
Article in BMC health services research, 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
purposeTo address service gaps in behavioral health crisis programs, this study evaluated patient engagement with a telehealth behavioral health crisis care program designed to stabilize patients experiencing acute mental health crises. It explored patient-level factors associated with program participation and with establishing a connection to follow-up behavioral health care.
methodsA retrospective analysis of 243 patients from a behavioral health crisis program serving adults in the Northeast United States was conducted. Descriptive and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify factors associated with patient engagement and connection to follow-up care.
resultsOver 70% of patients who attended at least one visit established a connection to follow-up care after participating in the program. After adjusting for patient characteristics, program participation, measured by the total number of visits attended, was positively associated with establishing a care connection, while having a prior history of violence against others was negatively associated with the establishment of a care connection.
conclusionThis study demonstrated that a fully telehealth behavioral health crisis care program was effective in maintaining patient engagement and establishing a connection to follow-up care for the majority of participants. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
