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

backgroundGrowing up with a severely mentally ill parent can impact on subsequent adult life, and it can be extra challenging in a society with a small population, known as a small-scale society. Life in a small-scale society is characterised by multiple close relationships, lack of anonymity and a conservative attitude towards normal behaviour.

aimsTo look at the impact of growing up with a mentally ill parent on adult life in a small-scale society.

methodsData from semistructured interviews with 11 adult children of severely mentally ill parents were reanalysed and subjected to secondary analysis.

resultsThe additional analysis resulted in four central themes: 'becoming open and courageous', 'seeking and giving help', 'feeling uncertain and different' and 'being resilient and sensitive'. These were conflated into an overarching theme: 'childhood experiences track into adulthood for better and worse'. The themes elucidate a diverse big picture and encompass positive and challenging features of adult life in a small-scale society.

conclusionsThe study ends with recommendations for the early establishment of collaboration and family-focused interventions with mentally ill parents and their children.
