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

backgroundAnxiety and depression are common mental disorders among children and their prevalence has increased in recent years. Unfortunately, some children do not have access to mental health care. Black and Latino children have been reported to be more likely to have unmet mental health care needs than other racial or ethnic groups. This study sought to identify the influential factors in accessing mental health care for Black and Latino teens with anxiety or depression in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and identify recommendations to improve access for this group.

methodsTen qualitative, key informant interviews were conducted between February 2022 and January 2023 and analyzed using thematic analysis as the research approach.

resultsStudy findings were categorized into six themes:(1) Mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic, (2) First points of contact, (3) Preferences for mental health professional characteristics, (4) Adequate care: Culturally-appropriate, trauma-informed, and family-centered, (5) Community awareness of mental health and resources available, (6) Availability of mental health services.

conclusionsRecommendations for public health policy and practice to increase access for these groups are discussed.
