RutiSafeNet: a behavioral risk and nursing workload monitoring tool for open-door acute inpatient mental health units.
Article in Frontiers in psychiatry, 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
Introduction: Open-door policies for acute inpatient mental health units (AIMHU) have shown promising results in reducing coercive measures, but concerns remain among patients and staff regarding increased workload, constant surveillance, and potential safety risks associated with these policies. This study aims to develop a monitoring tool to facilitate safety management in AIMHUs by monitoring behavioral risks and nursing workload. Methods: This study employed a qualitative approach using the content analysis method. Data were collected through three in-depth interviews and two focus groups involving staff (n=19) from the AIMHU of the hospital. Results: 34 items were identified to define behavioral risks related to self-harm and suicide, aggressiveness, and absconding, alongside factors affecting nursing workload. These items were categorized into three levels of risk: low, moderate, and high. Discussion: RutiSafeNet is a preliminary, observation-based monitoring prototype intended to support, rather than to predict, structured risk and workload monitoring in acute inpatient mental health units. As a qualitatively developed instrument, it requires psychometric validation, including inter-rater reliability, construct and criterion validity, predictive value, and clinical feasibility, before it can be implemented as a validated scale in clinical practice.
