Development of an Emergency Department Family Navigator and Text Message Intervention for Caregivers to Reduce Youth Risk of Suicide and Self-injurious Behavior.
Article in Rhode Island medical journal (2013), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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

Abstract
backgroundSuicide and self-injurious behavior (SSIB) in youth 10 to 14 years old has rapidly increased, with suicide rates for youth 10 to 18 years being the second leading cause of death. Youth with SSIB seen in the Emergency Department (ED) are often discharged to the community, yet less than 40% receive subsequent mental health (MH) care within 30 days. This open pilot study examined the feasibility, acceptability, and sample characteristics of a two-component Family Navigator with text messaging intervention, ED REaCH, for caregivers of youth with SSIB discharged from the ED.
methodsSixteen dyads of youth (M=12.67; SD=1.09) seeking emergency care for SSIB and their caregivers were enrolled from the ED of a pediatric hospital in the northeast US from November 2023 to March 2024. Dyads were enrolled in the ED REaCH intervention consisting of navigation procedures to promote linkage to care, engagement in community-based MH care for youth with SSIB, and a digital platform to extend purported mechanisms underlying the intervention's efficacy (MH literacy, MH communication, and MH engagement). Data was collected on measures of social identities, demographics, functioning, MH services, and intervention satisfaction.
resultsAll (100%) caregivers accepted the text messages. Most (75%) utilized the Family Navigator and completed the intervention feedback interviews. Overall, caregivers endorsed positive experiences and satisfaction with the two-component intervention. All caregivers who utilized the Family Navigator reported that 100% of youth attended MH care.
conclusionPreliminary findings suggest that the content and delivery methods of this intervention are perceived by caregivers as feasible and acceptable. As such, next steps include the evaluation of the ED REaCH intervention in a randomized clinical trial design. Future directions need to focus on intervention scalability, adaptability, personalization, and sustainability.
