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

Background: For youth and young adults (YYAs) with mental health concerns, digital mental health (dMH) can improve access to care and support collaboration with providers. Measurement-based care using a dMH platform may further optimize YYA outcomes by individualizing treatment approaches. Engaging service providers and YYA provides an opportunity to better understand how to mitigate implementation challenges. Aim: Explore the experiences of mental health care providers and YYAs regarding the implementation of a dMH platform for YYAs accessing mental health care in multiple care settings. Methods: Mental health care providers and YYA service users completed an electronic survey exploring their experiences and perceptions of implementing a dMH platform. Survey design, data analysis, and reporting were informed by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR). Results: A total of 195 individuals (100 providers, 95 YYAs) responded. Of those, 48 providers and 79 YYAs reported using the platform at least once. Both groups identified several important factors supporting implementation including collaborative relationships between providers and YYAs, the ability to monitor mental health outcomes, and increased YYA engagement in care. The need for increased provider training and automatic reminders for YYAs to use the platform were common barriers. Each group perceived the other to be uninterested in using the platform, highlighting the importance of using all stakeholder views to inform implementation planning. Conclusions: Successful implementation of dMH for care of YYA requires ongoing, user-informed training, integration into existing workflows, and alignment with YYA priorities for care. Future work exploring provider and youth perceptions of the others' "buy-in" is needed to inform future implementation strategies.
