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

backgroundKnowledge about services addressing mental health provided in a rehabilitation setting to youth with physical disabilities is limited. This study aimed to better understand the needs, supports, challenges and potential solutions to optimize rehabilitation services for co-occurring physical and mental health needs, from the perspectives of youth, family members and clinicians.

methodsA qualitative descriptive approach using 22 individual interviews with youth, parents and clinicians from five rehabilitation centres in a large Canadian city was employed. Inductive thematic analysis was conducted.

resultsThree themes were identified across the three stakeholder groups: (1) available clinical resources for mental health (access to mental health professionals, impact of organizational structures and mandates and continuity of services during transition to adult care); (2) clinician workforce capacity (mental health knowledge, skills and professional development, and therapeutic rapport between clinician and youth); and (3) links and partnerships with key players (improved pathways to access mental health services across programmes and organizations, and family involvement and advocacy).

conclusionThis study provides insights to barriers for mental health care (such as limited mental health knowledge, tools and professional development and access to specialists within the team, restrictive organizational mandates and disruption of services during the transition to adult care), illustrating important aspects to address. Clinicians can be better equipped to address mental health in rehabilitation settings via training opportunities and peer and organizational support in addition to establishing links with external partners. Organizations can also ensure adequate staffing and create pathways within and beyond their institutions to deliver well-coordinated mental health services in a more accessible way.
