Article in Journal of the Canadian Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry = Journal de l'Academie canadienne de psychiatrie de l'enfant et de l'adolescent, 2022. 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
objectiveWith the development of 75% of mental health disorders before age 25, it is alarming that service use among youth is so low. Little theoretically driven research has explored the decision-making process youth make when accessing services. This study utilized a decision-making framework, the Unified Theory of Behavior (UTB), to understand service use among youth attending Foundry, a network of integrated youth services centres designed to support the health and wellbeing of youth.
methodsForty-one participants were recruited from one Foundry centre in an urban community in Canada. Semi-structured interviews with participants aged 15 - 24 explored the relationship between UTB constructs and service use. Youth and parent advisory teams were engaged in the research process. Analysts used content analysis methodology to develop a taxonomy of the top categories for each construct.
resultsCategories with the most salient and rich content were reported for each construct. The impact of emotions on service use was most commonly discussed in relation to the framework. The UTB constructs 'self-efficacy' and 'knowledge' were found to be interrelated. Differences in UTB categories emerged by symptom severity. Findings pointed towards a dynamic nature of service use, whereby service use experiences, may lead youth to consider future decisions surrounding service use within Foundry.
conclusionsThis study contributes to a new understanding of integrated youth services utilization. The results can help shape the development of interventions to increase service access and retention, in addition to informing the design of systems of care that are accessible to all.
