Community-based care for patients with severe mental illness: A comparative study in Iran and selected countries.
Review in Journal of education and health promotion, 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
backgroundThe shift from institutional care to community-based mental health services is critical for improving the outcomes of patients with severe mental illness. This study compared community-based mental health service models in Iran with those in Canada, Australia, Italy, Turkey, and South Korea to identify the best practices for improving mental health care in Iran. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis descriptive-comparative study examined nine dimensions: policies and strategies, legal frameworks, service models, financing, workforce development, psychosocial interventions, information systems, civil society engagement, and research. Data were collected through a literature review of national and international databases.
resultsThe findings revealed robust community-based strategies that demonstrated effective service delivery and integration practices in Canada, Australia, and Italy. In contrast, community mental health services in Iran are still developing and facing challenges such as limited resources, workforce shortages, and implementation barriers.
conclusionTo achieve effective community-based mental healthcare, Iran needs to strengthen its policies, increase funding, and develop its workforce. This study highlights the importance of adapting successful approaches from the countries reviewed, while addressing local challenges, improving mental health outcomes, and reducing stigma.
