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.

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.

Abstract

backgroundLiving with severe mental illness (SMI) adversely affects quality of life (QoL). The SOFIA program, a coordinated general practice care initiative in Denmark, aimed to improve QoL and reduce mortality through extended general practitioner (GP) consultations, training for GPs and staff, and support in connecting patients with relevant health and social services.

objectiveTo evaluate the impact of the SOFIA intervention on needs-based QoL, self-perceived inequity, and health-related QoL in people with SMI. DESIGN AND

settingCluster-randomised, non-blinded controlled pilot trial conducted in nine Danish general practices between November 2020 and March 2021. Practices were allocated to a coordinated care program (CCP; SUBJECTS: Adults with psychotic disorders, bipolar disorder, or severe depressive disorder.

main outcome measuresOutcomes were assessed using the Multi-Morbidity Questionnaire (MMQ) and the EQ-5D-5L.

resultsNo statistically significant differences were observed between intervention and control groups in changes in needs-based QoL. Compared with the control group, the CCP+ group showed statistically significant improvements in two self-perceived inequity domains:

conclusionThe findings suggest that comprehensive, coordinated GP consultations may help reduce feelings of inequity among people with SMI. Larger pragmatic randomised controlled trials with adequate power and longer follow-up are needed to determine the intervention's effectiveness on patient-reported outcomes and long-term health.Trial registration The pilot trial protocol registration was dated 05/11/2020, and the registration number is NCT04618250.
