Lost together: Experiences of family physicians with emerging adult mental health.
Article in Canadian family physician Medecin de famille canadien, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
objectiveTo explore the perceptions and experiences of FPs with emerging adult (EA) mental health to inform opportunities for improvement in EA mental health care.
designConstructivist grounded theory methodology, including theoretical sampling and constant comparative analysis of data to synthesize results.
settingSouthwestern Ontario.
participantsTwenty practising FPs.
methodsIn-depth, semistructured, in-person interviews, which were audiorecorded and transcribed verbatim. MAIN
findingsFamily physicians recognized the unique situation of EAs being between adolescence and adulthood, having heavy psychosocial needs, and lacking a connection to the health care system. Experience and confidence are needed to treat the EA population, but provision of mental health care to EAs is influenced by resources, knowledge, and communication. Family physicians noted that they are the default physician while EAs wait for specialized care, and are often the physicians that the patient is referred back to after specialized care. Often, the FP knows and treats the EA's entire family, which participants described as enabling them to understand the EA's unique context.
conclusionFamily physicians and EAs are "lost together" in a fragmented health care system. Family physicians have the unique potential to assist EAs with their mental health needs, but that is not being actualized. Family physicians can support mental health outcomes for EAs through an improvement in knowledge and skills, and through forming family practice teams.
