Quality assessment of youth mental health policies in China based on the policy modelling consistency index model.
Synthesis in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundThis study was initiated due to a critical need to explore the inadequately addressed quality of mental health policies for youth in China. With increasing concerns over the mental health of young people, it is imperative to assess the strengths and weaknesses of these policies to suggest significant improvements.
methodsEmploying ROSTCM 6.0 text mining and ATLAS.ti qualitative analysis software, we developed a quality assessment framework based on the Policy Modelling Consistency (PMC) index model. This framework comprises 9 primary and 44 secondary variables, allowing policies to be classified into different levels based on PMC scores, facilitating detailed evaluation of each policy. The policies selected for this study span the period from 2012 to 2023.
resultsOur comprehensive review began with 937 documents, eventually narrowed down to 21 key policy texts following a meticulous three-stage screening process. The results indicated a predominance of high-quality policies. The policies demonstrated strengths in areas such as comprehensiveness, inclusiveness, and the breadth of objectives. However, notable weaknesses were observed in aspects like inter-organizational cooperation, responsiveness, and the efficiency of information-gathering tools.
conclusionsThe study concludes that enhancing cross-sectoral collaboration, expediting policy response times, and refining tools for information collection can significantly improve the impact and timeliness of interventions for youth mental health in China.
