Criminalizing Serious Mental Illness: What Linked Urban Data Reveal and the Case for Community Care.
Article in Journal of urban health : bulletin of the New York Academy of Medicine, 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
The United States has responded to multiple societal ills, from substance use to homelessness to mental health, with criminalization. A new analysis using City and County of San Francisco data shows jails disproportionately harm people with serious mental illness (SMI). In addition to longer periods of incarceration and higher rates of repeat jail bookings, people with SMI also experience higher rates of homelessness, co-occurring substance use disorder, and urgent and emergent health services utilization before and after incarceration compared to their peers without SMI. The study provides a much-needed spotlight on jail research, as well as demonstrating the power of data when not siloed in multiple, disparate departments. Investing in community-based mental health resources, housing, and substance use disorder services can address the upstream determinants of incarceration and may benefit people with SMI.
