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

objectivesTo generate concrete, youth-derived recommendations to support Canada's post-pandemic recovery from COVID-19 to support youth mental health and substance use (MHSU), economic, and educational recovery.

methodsUsing a virtual, modified Delphi, participants rated recommendation items over three rounds, with the option to create their own recommendation items. A priori consensus was defined as ≥ 70% of the entire group, or subgroups of youth (e.g., age, race/ethnicity, gender and sexual identities), rating items at a 6 or 7 (on a 7-point Likert scale). Items were dropped in subsequent rounds if they did not achieve consensus. Qualitative responses were analyzed using content analysis for Round 1.

resultsA total of 40 youths participated in Round 1, with good retention (97.5%) in subsequent rounds. Youths achieved consensus on eight recommendations to support post-pandemic recovery. Youths endorsed post-pandemic strategies that prioritize the implementation of effective, accessible, and low-cost MHSU services in schools, workplaces, and communities; the integration of MHSU education into school lessons; increased awareness about MHSU services in schools and workplaces; and the prioritization of health and well-being in schools and workplaces.

conclusionFindings indicate the need for stronger partnerships between schools, community-based MHSU services, and hospitals, and job opportunities that pay a living wage.
