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

objectiveAboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voices are crucial when reporting on key issues facing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. To date, there has been very little representation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community members speaking to the media about suicide and mental health challenges, but this is changing. This paper outlines the process and outcomes of co-creating resources which aim to increase the confidence and capacity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to talk to media about mental health challenges and/or suicide.

methodsFollowing an Aboriginal Participatory Action Research approach, this paper elevates the voices of 18 Aboriginal (Noongar) community members with lived experience of suicide and mental health challenges. This group took part in media training, led by a respected Aboriginal social justice advocate. Following the training, the group gifted stories about experiences engaging with the media, through research topic yarning. RESULTS AND

conclusionsThe results from a thematic analysis identified a justified mistrust towards the media, a desire to speak up to the media, and the need for a range of resources to support truth-telling to the media. These results informed the co-creation of a guide to support truth-telling to the media, with the aim of building the capability of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to share their truth in a way which is safe for them.
