Mindlink: A stigma-free youth-friendly community-based early-intervention centre in Korea.
Article in Early intervention in psychiatry, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
aimIn many Asian countries, youth mental health services are not well-developed and access to treatment is generally delayed. Here, we present a community-based service model based on our experience with Mindlink, the first early-intervention centre of its kind in Korea.
methodsWe describe the history of this mental health early-intervention service and the characteristics of users, as well as its intervention programmes and research directions. We also propose ways to further develop youth mental health services.
resultsA community-based early-intervention service for youth was first introduced in 2012, when a special team was formed in a community mental health centre of Korea. As the numbers of young clients increased, a youth-friendly, early-intervention centre called Mindlink was opened in 2016. Mindlink targets those aged 15-30 years with mental illness less than 5 years in duration. Its goal is to detect mental illness in young people early and provide comprehensive multidisciplinary interventions. It provides intensive case management and group programmes including cognitive-behavioural therapy, family intervention, psychoeducation, behavioural activation and physical health promotion. The Korean government has officially announced that the Mindlink model is effective and is currently in the process of scaling it up on a national level.
conclusionAn accessible, youth-friendly, stigma-free, community mental health centre such as Mindlink allows early detection and appropriate management of mental illness in young patients.
