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.

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
backgroundAmong Norwegian adolescents, there have been increases in self-reported psychological ailments, consultations with health services for psychological ailments, and the use of antidepressants. At the same time, the population of Norway is getting older and is in increasingly less need of assistance in old age, and the prevalence of mental disorders among healthy older adults is probably relatively low compared to younger age groups.
aimThis study aimed to explore older adults’ perceptions of adolescence and factors influencing mental health to increase nurse’s societal knowledge.
methodThe study had a phenomenological exploratory design. We conducted semi-structured interviews with eight older adults ranging from 68 to 90 years of age and analyzed their perceptions of being adolescents using systematic text condensation.
resultsThe conditions of being an adolescent in the past and now are significantly different, and the mentality about mental health differ. The family structure has changed, and adolescents socialize in a different way with less face-to-face interaction. The digitalization of society may give adolescents illusions about what you can expect in life, and medicalization conveys the idea that there is a cure for everything.
conclusionsThe analyzed perceptions of the participants support that medicalization, social media, and the societal structure are impacting the sense of coherence and mental health of adolescents today.
