What Psychiatry Measures, and What It Misses: Flourishing as a Blind Spot in Patient-Centered Care.
Article in Harvard review of psychiatry. 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
In psychiatry, judgments are routinely made that extend beyond symptom assessment and reduction to areas such as functioning, agency, responsibility, relationships, and meaning in life. Yet standard outcome measures focus narrowly on symptoms, sometimes implicitly treating these broader dimensions as peripheral or outside the scope of psychiatric care. Thus, there is a mismatch between what psychiatric practice actually influences and what it formally measures. The result is not value-neutral care, but rather value-laden care without explicit acknowledgment. We argue that measures of flourishing do not expand psychiatry's scope so much as make explicit the dimensions of patients' lives psychiatry already shapes. We suggest that incorporating flourishing measures into psychiatry can help align assessment with patient-centered care without requiring clinicians to adopt a comprehensive moral framework or exceed the boundaries of their professional expertise.
