Evidence-Based Assessment in Routine Mental Health Services for Youths.
Article in Psychiatric services (Washington, D.C.), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
objectiveEvidence-based assessment (EBA) plays a critical role in the delivery of effective treatments. However, little is known about the assessment practices of mental health clinicians who treat youths and the factors that support EBA. The authors examined when, how, and under what conditions clinicians conduct EBA.
methodsIn two multidisciplinary surveys (combined N=2,575), clinicians reported how frequently they conducted pretreatment, ongoing, and posttreatment assessments and how frequently they used standardized measures in usual care of youths.
resultsAlthough clinicians reported frequent pretreatment, ongoing, and posttreatment assessments, use of standardized measures was rare. Clinician and practice setting characteristics predicted standardized measure use, and a lack of practical assessment tools appears to be a barrier to use of standardized measures in EBA of youths.
conclusionsMany clinicians conduct assessments during treatment, but more practical measures and clinician training may improve the integration of standardized measures into routine practice.
