Perceived satisfaction with care, service atmosphere and mood fluctuations among patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorder in Italian mental health supported accommodations: a multicenter study.
Article in BMC 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
backgroundSupported Accommodations (SA) are central to Italy's community-based mental health care for individuals with schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSD), offering structured, recovery-oriented environments. While symptom severity remains important, care environment and satisfaction strongly influence well-being. Mood fluctuations, a key aspect of daily functioning, have been underexplored in SA. Using the Experience Sampling Method (ESM), this study aims to examine the associations between perceived ward atmosphere, care satisfaction, and momentary mood in SA residents with SSD.
methodsAs part of the DiAPAson project, 68 residents with SSD were assessed also using ESM. Additional measures included psychopathology (BPRS, BNSS), functioning (SLOF, WHODAS 2.0), perceived ward atmosphere (WAS-P) and service satisfaction (VSSS-32). Descriptive analyses were conducted, and a structural equation model examined mood in relation to clinical, demographic, and environmental factors.
resultsResidents with SSD (29.4% female; mean age = 42.8 years) were mostly single (80.9%) and unemployed (79.4%), with a mean disorder duration of 19.2 years. Clinical assessments indicated moderate symptom severity and functioning. Structural equation modelling showed excellent fit (CFI = 1.000; RMSEA = 0.000; SRMR = 0.060). The latent variable Env-Perc, combining service satisfaction (VSSS-32) and perceived ward atmosphere (WAS-P), was the only significant predictor of momentary mood (β = 0.344, 95%CI: [0.084;0954], p = 0.033).
conclusionsPerceived satisfaction with care and service atmosphere in SA contribute to promoting positive mood among individuals with SSD.
