Civil society in action: insights into volunteer-based community mentoring for reentry support.
Article in Health & justice, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This study examined YouTurn's program, a volunteer-based mentoring initiative for individuals released after completing their full prison sentences in Israel. Unlike parolees, this group generally lacks structured transitional and healthcare support, risks of adverse health outcomes, and recidivism. Drawing on semi-structured interviews with mentors, staff, and institutional partners involved in the program, the study employed thematic analysis to explore the program's strengths, challenges, and broader implications. Findings indicate that YouTurn's civilian volunteer mentors deliver holistic support that addresses emotional, social, and practical reentry needs, while fostering organizational cohesion and continuity during crisis. The program's distinctive reliance on civic volunteers offers an alternative model of support rooted in community commitments, positioning YouTurn as a strengths-based intervention that fills gaps in current rehabilitation policy. Respondents also indicated significant challenges, including participants' dropout, limited resources, and a lack of diversity among mentees. The study extends theoretical understandings of mentoring models and demonstrates the potential of civic volunteer-driven initiatives to complement peer- and professional-based approaches in offender rehabilitation.
