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

Transition-age youth (TAY) diagnosed with serious mental health diagnoses have low employment rates. Supported Employment (SE) is a widely adopted evidence-based approach. However, SE engagement and outcomes are mixed with TAY, who have unique developmental needs. This study evaluates the "Career Opportunity Readiness Experience" (CORE), a TAY transitional employment SE add-on. CORE runs in 15-week cycles with 6-8 TAY, supported by Vocational Peer Mentors. CORE includes: (1) workshops, (2) paid internship, and (3) SE transition. CORE participation, key outcomes and feedback were tracked over nine cycles, and for six-months post-CORE participation. Most (97%; 55 of 57) experienced positive outcomes: 74% enrolled in SE, 42% secured employment and 23% enrolled in an education program. Most (82%) reported positive CORE experiences. CORE workshops, internships and vocational peer mentoring are promising TAY SE practices. More research is needed to understand CORE implementation barriers and facilitators and key change mechanisms.
