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
Objective: The youth mental health crisis, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, has increased the demand for pediatric inpatient psychiatry units (IPUs) in the United States despite critical bed shortages, yet they remain an understudied treatment model. This study examines patient-reported outcomes (PROs) of clinical symptoms and functioning for adolescents treated on a pediatric IPU from September 1, 2021 to September 1, 2023. Methods: Retrospective reviews of 218 adolescent admissions (12-17 years) were conducted. Adolescents completed PROs upon admission and discharge measuring depression, suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STBs), anxiety, emotion dysregulation, family functioning, and quality of life. Paired Results: Most adolescents (93%) had depressive disorders; 76% reported a lifetime history of suicide attempts, and 68% endorsed suicidal ideation within the past 2 weeks on admission PROs. Discharge PRO scores revealed improvements in depression, STBs, anxiety, emotional regulation, family functioning and quality of life from admission to discharge ( Conclusions: Pediatric IPU is a vital and effective treatment model whose importance in delivering life-saving care suggests further resources-including increased research and improved access to care-are warranted. Relevance to Clinical Practice: These findings support the use of IPU care for adolescents experiencing severe mental health crises, particularly depression and STBs.
