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

Veterans who are unemployed and living with mental health or substance use conditions are in need of integrative interventions that support their career development, mental wellness, and sobriety. However, career development interventions are often developed and implemented separate from mental health services. This paper introduces a novel intervention that supports career development of veterans with mental health and substance use concerns: Purposeful Pathways. This paper presents the results from three phases of intervention development: (1) retreats with clinical and vocational psychology experts (n=13) to develop the theoretical mechanisms of Purposeful Pathways, (2) focus groups with Veterans Health Affairs vocational counselors (n=6) who provide employment services to veterans with mental health conditions, and (3) an open trial in which veterans with mental health conditions (n=10) received Purposeful Pathways and provided feedback. Descriptions of the iterative processes of developing the Purposeful Pathways intervention are presented as a model for developing vocational interventions.
