The impact of a gender transformative school-based suicide prevention workshop in Australia: adolescent boys' perspectives.
Trial report in Health promotion international, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Elevated suicide rates among adolescent boys in Australia reflect a critical need to address restrictive masculine norms that hinder help-seeking. Tomorrow Man's 'Breaking the Man Code' workshop-a school-based gender transformative programme-aims to increase authentic self-expression and meaningful dialogue among adolescent boys. Evidence of the impacts of gender transformative programmes is limited. Within a cluster randomized trial, 183 boys (Years 10 upwards) from 11 Australian schools completed open-ended survey questions about their experiences of the 'Breaking the Man Code' workshop and its perceived impact on help-seeking with friends and family. Data were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis. Three themes were developed: (i) the workshop normalized struggle and strengthened connection, creating a safe space for self-expression and peer connection; (ii) defining the 'man code' postworkshop: many participants expressed desires for increased self-expression and to support others; and (iii) talking openly with friends and family postworkshop. Greater relational impacts were described with friends, including increased compassion, trust, connection, and use of active listening skills. Perspectives within themes varied: while many discussed positive attitudinal and behavioural change, others reported no changes. The lack of reported change was largely attributed to pre-existing open communication practices; others gave no explanation; some noted difficulties implementing changes. Future research should further explore varied impacts among diverse boys. Analysis suggests that many adolescent boys in this sample desired and perceived that they could shift towards a positive masculinity characterized by deeper social connections, providing examples of this change within their relationships with friends and family postworkshop.
