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

The Amplify and Advocate programme was designed to implement youth-led advocacy campaigns across Ireland, addressing gaps in early intervention, service accessibility and youth participation in mental health policy. Grounded in participatory, rights-based approaches, the project aimed to empower young people to influence mental health services and policies. Using the Lundy Model of Participation, World Café methodology, and COM-B and APEASE frameworks, the programme delivered co-designed advocacy training and supported young people in developing and implementing community-based campaigns. Participants engaged in local needs assessments, action planning, stakeholder engagement and policy advocacy. Eleven youth-led advocacy campaigns were launched, focusing on early intervention, equitable access, community collaboration, service integration, increased funding and amplifying youth voice. Evaluations indicated improved advocacy skills, increased engagement in policy discussions, and strengthened partnerships with service providers and policymakers. Findings demonstrate the effectiveness of participatory, youth-led advocacy in shaping mental health services and influencing policy. The project highlights the importance of structured advocacy training, stakeholder collaboration and sustainability planning to maintain long-term impact. Recommendations focus on integrating youth-led advocacy within policy frameworks and ensuring ongoing investment in participatory mental health initiatives.
