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

introductionA considerable number of individuals born in the Nordic countries to immigrant parents are now entering youth and young adulthood, but we have limited knowledge about their health. This scoping review aimed to map and summarize existing knowledge on the health of this group.

methodsThis research followed guidelines from the Joanna Briggs Institute. The literature search was performed in the databases Ovid Medline, Embase, APA PsycInfo, CINAHL, Scopus, SveMed+, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials Issue, and Epistemonikos. Two researchers screened titles and abstracts of all records, and then full-texts of potentially relevant studies. Any disagreements were solved by discussion. Reference lists of the included studies were screened for additional relevant articles. Included articles should report on health outcomes among persons aged 16-30 years, born in a Nordic country to immigrant parents. Evidence was extracted and summarized.

resultsThe initial search resulted in 2452 unique records. A total of 11 articles were included in the final scoping review. Most of the studies were on mental health and concluded that descendants of immigrants had higher levels of self-reported mental health problems than native-background youths and young adults. They were, however, less likely to use mental health services.

conclusionAvailable studies suggest that young adults born in the Nordics to immigrant parents have a greater burden of mental health problems but use mental health services less, than natives. Further studies on the reasons for this are warranted to elucidate possible action points.
