Impact of a brief intervention to improve engagement in a recovery program for young adults with serious mental illness.
Trial report in Schizophrenia research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06410508 (Evaluation of a Brief Intervention to Improve Engagement and Recovery for At-risk Youth Enrolled in Early Intervention Services for Psychosis .), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
objectiveSerious mental illnesses (SMI) commonly emerge during young adulthood. Effective treatments for this population exist; however, engagement in treatment is a persistent challenge. This study examines the impact of Just Do You (JDY), an innovative intake-focused intervention designed to improve engagement in treatment and enhance personal recovery.
methodsThe study used a parallel group randomized trial to examine if and how JDY improved recovery among 121 young adults with SMI from low-resourced communities referred to personalized recovery-oriented services (PROS). Measures of engagement (buy-in and attendance) and personal recovery in this pilot study were assessed at baseline and 3-month follow-up.
resultsParticipants in JDY reported more positive engagement outcomes; that is, relative to the control group they reported higher past two week attendance (b = 0.72, p < 0.05, Cohen's d = 0.56) and higher levels of buy-in to treatment (b = 2.42, p < 0.05, Cohen's d = 0.50). JDY also impacted young adults' personal recovery (b = 0.99, p < 0.05, Cohen's d = 1.15) and did so largely by increasing their level of buy-in to the treatment program.
conclusionThis study suggests that an engagement intervention for young adults that orients, prepares, and empowers them to be active and involved in the larger treatment program makes a difference by improving engagement and enhancing recovery. Data also support conceptualizing and examining engagement beyond treatment attendance; in this study what mattered most for recovery was the level of buy-in to treatment among young adults.
