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
The Indigenous Youth Mentorship Program (IYMP) is a youth-centred, community-based programme that fosters wholistic wellness and mino-pimâtisiwin ('the good life' in Cree) within Indigenous communities across Canada. IYMP uses a communal mentorship model, where Indigenous high school students, supported by programme leaders, facilitate healthy living activities for elementary-aged peers. This culturally grounded setting promotes leadership development, life skills, and community engagement. While youth leadership experience is known to influence education, employment and wellness, the culturally specific impact of IYMP on youth mentors remains underexplored. This study aimed to amplify youth voices to understand youth mentors' perspectives on how leadership experience, through IYMP, impacts their education, employment, and wholistic wellness. Focused ethnography was used as the guiding method. IYMP youth mentors (aged 14-19) were purposively recruited. Talking circles were the primary data generation tool, with 21 participants across three circles (n = 5, n = 10, n = 6). Sessions were held in person, audio-recorded, and transcribed. Unstructured participant observations, documented as field notes, were used to supplement and contextualize the data. Thematic analysis was used to identify patterns within the data. Participants reported that leadership experiences enhanced their confidence and communication skills, which made school more enjoyable, improved employability, and impacted their wholistic wellness through healthy behaviours and strong social networks. Earning high school course credits through IYMP was a key motivator, making leadership more accessible and supporting high school completion. IYMP strengthens youth mentors' educational attainment, employability, and wellness by weaving together leadership experiences with the development of communication skills and confidence.
