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 lack of research on the rehabilitative climate of prisons for men with sexual convictions and the impact this could have on their rehabilitation. This research aims to explore the therapeutic and rehabilitative climate of three prisons for men with sexual convictions and to provide new understandings on what is important for a prison to be rehabilitative. It compares the rehabilitative and therapeutic climate of three prisons housing men with sexual convictions. It explores key pathways through which correlates of prison climate, for example, prisoner-staff relationships and beliefs about change, are associated with rehabilitative climate and treatment readiness. The results found that prisons with established rehabilitative track records scored more highly on key determinants of a rehabilitative climate. Path analysis revealed prisoner-staff relationships predicted treatment readiness but that this relationship was fully mediated by rehabilitative climate, suggesting that rehabilitative climate plays a pivotal role in how prisoner-staff relationships affect treatment readiness. Implications for practice are discussed.
