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.

2 · The registry

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: In 2020, Oregon became the first US state to legalize state-regulated psilocybin services. This study aims to examine: (1) the clinical and demographic characteristics, (2) psilocybin use motivations, and (3) differences in preparedness among patients seeking care in an Oregon-based pilot consult service specializing in psilocybin risk reduction. Methods: This exploratory retrospective chart review abstracted sociodemographics, trauma history, and medical and psychiatric risks of patients (November 2023-September 2025). The Psychedelic Preparedness Scale (PPS), a validated self-report questionnaire, measured preparedness. Two sample Results: Patients ( Conclusion: Patients utilizing a novel consultation service demonstrate a high prevalence of trauma, prior psilocybin use, and baseline preparedness. While preliminary, this study is among the first describing patients seeking medical and psychiatric consultation when considering psilocybin and highlights potential roles of healthcare systems in providing evidence-based patient education and risk reduction as interest in psychedelics grows.
