1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Despite decades of Inuit accessing services in Manitoba, Inuit-centric services remain scant and have only begun to emerge. This article reports on Inuit utilisation of mental health services in Manitoba. In this study, we focused on two interrelated cohorts: Inuit living in Manitoba and Inuit from the Kivalliq region who come to Winnipeg to access specialised services. We used administrative data routinely collected by Manitoban agencies. The study was conducted in partnership with the Manitoba Inuit Association, and Inuit Elders from Nunavut and Manitoba. Our results show that mental health-related consults represent between 1 in 5 and 1 in 3 of all consults made by Inuit in Manitoba. Rates of hospitalisation for mental health conditions are considerably lower than those of residents from the Manitoba northern health authority. Given that Nunavut has the highest rate of suicide in the world, our results suggest underserved needs rather than lower needs. Kivalliq and Manitoba Inuit utilise mental health services in Manitoba extensively, yet these services for the most part remain western-centric. Epistemological accommodations in the provision of mental health services have yet to be implemented. This is now the focus of our work.
