'Everything turned upside down': A thematic analysis of adolescents' experiences of everyday life during COVID-19 restrictions.
Article in Scandinavian journal of public health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundAt the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, people were encouraged to practice social distancing, and schools and leisure venues closed.
aimsWe aimed to explore the everyday experiences of Norwegian adolescents during COVID-19 restrictions, when in-person contact with peers was severely limited.
methodsA total of 622 high-school students (16-18 years of age) replied to an online survey containing open-ended questions about the changes they experienced in everyday life during the first three months of the pandemic.
resultsReflexive thematic analysis resulted in four themes: (a) 'Everyday life turned upside down - everything is on hold'; (b) 'Alone with my thoughts - new concerns'; (c) 'A loss of social life - a fear of wasting important time'; and (d) 'Gratitude - new perspectives in life'. The results are discussed according to mental-health concerns and psychological developmental challenges during adolescence, such as social exploration of roles with peers, autonomy and identity formation during a crisis.
