Understanding caregivers' perspectives on adolescent psychiatric admission and re-admission.
Article in Indian journal of 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
Background: In India, adolescent psychiatric hospitalization is influenced by clinical, familial, and systemic factors. Caregivers' perspectives on admission decisions remain underexplored, particularly in low-resource settings. Aim: To explore the perceived need for inpatient admission or re-admission of adolescents with mental illness, as expressed by their primary caregivers. Methods: A qualitative descriptive study was conducted at a tertiary Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Centre in India. Twenty-six primary caregivers of adolescents (13-18 years) were interviewed using a validated semi-structured guide, and the data were analyzed thematically. Results: Thematic analysis identified several themes: factors influencing admission/re-admission, caregiver burden, family and home dynamics, social withdrawal and inadequate school support, adolescent coping strategies, and treatment-related challenges such as medication side effects and inadequate aftercare. Conclusion: Caregiver-perceived admission drivers are multifactorial. Strengthening community services, caregiver psychoeducation, and adolescent-friendly aftercare is essential to reduce preventable hospitalisations.
