MENTAL HEALTH IN KENYAN SCHOOLS: TEACHERS' PERSPECTIVES.
Article in Global social welfare : research, policy & practice, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
introductionThis qualitative study, conducted in public primary and secondary schools, sought teachers' perceptions of mental health concerns that are relevant in school settings. Based on the phenomenological theory, the study aimed to understand the teachers experiences of mental health problems in the schools and how they handled them.
methodThe schools sampled represented rural, suburban and urban sections of Kiambu County in Kenya. Data were collected through Focus Group Discussions (FGDs). The researcher made summary notes from both audio taped interviews and notes made by the research assistants and summarized the major themes.
resultsTeachers reported that they were aware that students suffered from mental health problems. They recognized learning difficulties, externalizing problems, internalizing problems, bizarre behavior, and problem substance use among students. Teachers reported that lack of skills and time were challenges in dealing with student mental health problems.
conclusionTeachers perceive presence of mental health problems among the students. There is need for in- service training for identification and referral and that school psychologists be employed to deal with student mental health problems.
