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

objectiveDespite the need to have adolescent-centric policies and mental health services, India is yet far from having one. The authors aimed at generating opinions on the need to have adolescent focused policies and clinical services using the data on Anxiety Disorders they collected from the community.

methodsThis qualitative study used Focus Group Discussions (FGD) to generate opinions on the various needs to enhance better mental health services and policies for adolescents in India. A Modified Delphi technique was used with experts in mental health to prioritize these needs. Experts gave their plans on how to approach the needs during the in-depth interviews.

resultsThe mental health professionals viewed scaled-up mental health services to include adolescent mental health services; improve the consumer opinion about public sector health providers; strengthening the government hospitals; capacity building among the health sector and non-health sector; research in service delivery models and policy changes as the needs. The parents felt the need to address the stigma associated with their children's mental illness, minimize the barriers in approaching mental health services and involve non-medical agencies in mental health care. These needs were prioritized and solutions to these problems were discussed.

conclusionsIndia-centric and adolescent specific mental health policies and services need to be developed as well as integrated into the existing health system in India.
