Adolescents' perspectives and experiences of accessing general practitioner services: A systematic review.
Synthesis in Journal of child health care : for professionals working with children in the hospital and community, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Adolescents face issues regarding physical health, mental health, sexual health, drug and alcohol problems, stress, and peer pressure. Little is known about adolescents' help-seeking behaviours in relation to health concerns. The general practitioner (GP) is usually the first point of contact for adolescents. The aim of this systematic review was to identify, describe, and summarize evidence on barriers and enablers experienced by adolescents when accessing GP-led primary care services. Systematic searches using four electronic databases (PsycINFO, MEDLINE, CINAHL, and SocINDEX) were conducted and the quality of the included studies was appraised. Six studies were included in this review. Findings indicate that barriers to GP access relate to trust, confidentiality, privacy, and communication. Adolescents also reported barriers such as transport, cost, and lack of information. Adolescents reported enablers being services that are sensitive to their needs, healthcare professionals who understand them, and services that are flexible regarding out of hours access. Listening to and acting on the voice of adolescents is important to developing youth-friendly services.
