Primary care support for youth mental health: a preliminary evidence base for Ireland's Mid-West.
Article in Irish journal of medical science, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
backgroundMental and substance use disorders are leading causes of morbidity. Prevention/treatment amongst young people are global health priorities. International data have highlighted primary care and general practice as important in addressing these.
aimsSurvey of 128 physicians (GPs) in Ireland's Mid-West (Counties Limerick, Clare, North Tipperary) to document the spectrum of youth mental health problems, describe strategies adopted by GPs in dealing with these, identify barriers (perceived by GPs) to effective care of young mental health patients and collate GP proposals for improved care of this cohort.
methodsSelf-administered questionnaire on physician and practice demographics, case management and barriers to care in youth mental health.
resultsThirty-nine GPs (31 %) responded. Mental health and family conflict represented the most frequent reasons why young people attended GPs. Depression, anxiety, family conflict, suicidal thoughts/behaviour, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) were the most common issues followed by substance abuse and antisocial behaviours. GP referral practices for young people with mental/substance use disorders varied, with distinctions between actual and preferred management due to insufficient access to dedicated youth services and training. GPs stated need for improved access to existing services (i.e., Psychiatry, counseling/psychology, social/educational interventions). A number of GPs surveyed were located, or provided care, in Limerick's 'Regeneration Areas'. Young people in these areas predominantly attended GPs due to mental/substance use issues and antenatal care, rather than acute or general medical problems.
conclusionsGPs play an important role in meeting youth mental health needs in this region and, in particular, in economically deprived urban areas.
