Sensitivity analysis of adjusted data

	Number of studies	Comparison	Original effect size*(95% CI)	New effect size*(95% CI)
Readmission to hospital	17	CCT vs no CCT	−0·14 (−0·41 to 0·14)	−0·11 (−0·40 to 0·18)
Use of community services	9	CCT vs no CCT	0·38 (0·19 to 0·58)	0·43 (0·29 to 0·58)
Treatment adherence†	3	CCT vs no CCT	0·91 (−0·70 to 2·51)	0·30 (0·13 to 0·48)

Data in parentheses are 95% CIs. CCT=compulsory community treatment.

^*Standardised mean difference.

^†Effect size for treatment adherence decreases substantially, although this result should be interpreted with caution because this analysis only includes three studies.
