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.
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
introductionThere are a number of factors contributing to the poor mental health of children and young people (CYP) specific to life in Northern Ireland (NI). Prevention and early intervention are of critical importance to the mental health and well-being of CYP. Policy decisions and service provision in the health and education sectors must be informed by research so that we can understand the factors affecting the mental health of young people and develop effective policy responses. This study examines the perceptions of young people in NI regarding mental health research priorities.
methodsCYP who live in NI and are aged between 11 and 25 were invited to contribute to this priority setting exercise. A short anonymous online survey asked: 'What do you think is the most important question that researchers should be trying to answer about the mental health and wellbeing of young people in NI? You may submit more than one question.' Two-hundred and seventy-nine questions were submitted from 147 respondents. The priorities were then further discussed and expanded through focus groups with young people.
resultsThe study identified 12 research priorities. Using thematic analysis, these were grouped into four themes: (i) Ensuring that the voices of young people in NI are heard, (ii) Understanding and addressing the root causes, extent and impact of mental health challenges in young people, (iii) Creating accessible and effective youth mental health services in NI and (iv) Fostering a whole-school approach to mental health and resilience.
conclusionsThe research priorities of young people are discussed in relation to current governmental strategic policies and statistics. Suggestions are put forward regarding how these research priorities may be addressed.
