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

introductionEach academic year, numerous students experience mental health problems. Despite this, many avoid seeking any form of help, which can lead to problems worsening. This paper reflects upon the co-development process of an intervention which aimed to increase help-seeking behaviours in undergraduate students.

methodsOnline workshops were conducted with a student co-production team, including the completion of tasks designed to incorporate the eight steps of the Behaviour Change Wheel framework. During the co-production process, the team made key decisions in relation to the developed intervention's main function, the behaviour change techniques used, and the content presented.

resultsAs a result of the process, the team developed CoMUni, a social media-based intervention sharing other students' experiences of seeking help. After the final workshop, each team member provided feedback through an online form relating to their experiences during the development process. Results of this study illustrate how the values of co-production were upheld during the development process, with team members feeling actively involved and respected.

conclusionThis study provides reflective insight into the qualitative approach of co-production and illustrates its benefits when utilised to develop interventions around university student mental health. PARTICIPANT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: A stakeholder advisory group made up of university staff (with experience or interest in student mental health) was consulted during the design of the co-production workshops. A student team attended co-production meetings, making key decisions around the functionality and content used in the intervention. Some members of the team also reviewed and commented on the final manuscript.
