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

introductionThere is increasing interest in youth advisory councils (YACs) within the mental health and addictions (MHA) system; however, little is known about methods to ensure diversity of perspectives on these councils. Diverse perspectives are critical for ensuring that youth MHA organizations are equipped to support youth needs.

methodsA youth-led YAC recruitment initiative was developed and implemented at a GTA-based youth MHA navigation service: the Family Navigation Project.

resultsSpecifically, this paper highlights the efforts of three youth staff and volunteers who championed a YAC recruitment plan focused on promoting equity, diversity, inclusion (EDI) and accessibility, youth engagement (YE), and lived experience/expertise (LE). DISCUSSION: This paper is written from the perspective of the youth recruitment team and provides important insights for MHA services interested in ensuring EDI, accessibility, YE and LE on a new or existing YAC, and researchers studying YE in MHA care.
