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
Objectives: Mental illness is a very common issue in the prison population. This study set out to analyse the prevalence of mental disorders among inmates at Zuera Prison (Zaragoza). Material and method: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in September 2023, including inmates undergoing active treatment with psychotropic drugs. The sample included 598 prisoners (560 men and 38 women), with a mean age of 39.3 years for men and 41.3 years for women. Results: The results showed that neurotic disorders were the most prevalent in both sexes (47% men, 55.30% women), followed by disorders due to psychoactive substance use (35.40% men, 23.70% women) and, in third place, personality disorders. Significant differences were observed in the distribution of diagnoses according to gender, nationality and recidivism: repeat offenders had a higher prevalence of drug-related disorders, while first-time offenders had more neurotic disorders. The foreign population showed a lower association with drug-related pathologies than the Spanish population. Discussion: The high prevalence of mental health disorders observed, and the differences found according to sociodemographic and prison-related characteristics, highlight the need to strengthen strategies for early detection, prevention and comprehensive mental health care within the prison system, particularly for individuals with a history of reoffending and substance-use disorders.
