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

introductionReturn to studies or employment, a major element of recovery after a first episode of psychosis (FEP), is out of reach of a significant proportion of patients. Specific programs such as Individual Placement Support (IPS) have been proposed to overcome this hurdle. While some early intervention programs include IPS, others must rely on IPS programs that are open to a wider range of patients. The aim of this paper was to explore the accessibility of IPS for FEP patients treated in such a context.

methodsOne hundred and eighty nine patients of an ongoing FEP cohort study who were treated at our program in the period where the IPS program was available and for whom sufficient data was available were included in the study. We assessed reasons for non-referral to RESSORT and compared baseline and outcome characteristics of patients who did or did not enter the program.

resultsA small minority of patients had access to RESSORT. Patients who entered RESSORT had better premorbid functioning and a higher degree of insight at baseline than the ones who did not enter the program. Patients who entered RESSORT had a significantly higher rate of return to premorbid PAS score, without significant difference on other dimensions of functioning.

conclusionsWhen IPS programs are not embedded in early intervention programs, FEP patients have limited chances to access them. Integrating supported employment skills within the role of case managers may be a solution in programs where resources are lacking to develop an IPS program specifically dedicated to FEP patients.
