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

Parents are influential gatekeepers to mental health services for children struggling with mental health issues, and their stigmatizing attitudes and behaviors towards mental illness may hinder help-seeking. Parents' gendered expectations throughout the help-seeking process may influence whether they pursue formal or informal support for their children. We advance stigma research by examining how stigma affects a parent's decision to seek formal and informal mental health support for their child depending on the child's gender. Using longitudinal data from a school-based anti-stigma intervention study among sixth-grade students, we analyzed the subsample of children who reported high mental health symptoms (
