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

This study investigated the relationship between perceived discrimination, help-seeking behaviors, and the adequacy of social participation services among individuals with serious mental illness in South Korea. Data were drawn from a 2020 survey conducted by the National Human Rights Commission of Korea, involving 607 participants who used community-based mental health rehabilitation facilities. Structural equation modeling was employed to examine the extent to which perceived discrimination in healthcare, employment, and personal-social relationships affects help-seeking behaviors, including the mediating effect of perceived adequacy of social participation services. Results revealed that experiences of discrimination in healthcare and employment significantly influenced help-seeking, whereas discrimination in personal-social relationships did not. Although the adequacy of social participation services positively impacted help-seeking, it did not mediate the relationship between discrimination and help-seeking behaviors. The findings suggest addressing discrimination in healthcare and employment and expanding diverse, accessible social participation services are crucial for encouraging help-seeking among individuals with serious mental illness across regions in Korea.
