The Development of Quality Indicators to Assess Family Wellbeing Outcomes Following Engagement with Children's Mental Health Services in Ontario, Canada.
Article in European journal of investigation in health, psychology and education, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
(1) Background: Caregivers and families of children involved with mental health services face unique challenges. In Ontario, there is a dearth of information on outcomes for families following a child's involvement with mental health services. Metrics known as Quality Indicators (QIs) offer a way to better understand these outcomes. Importantly, QIs can be risk adjusted to account for the influence of client complexity to allow for fair inter-agency comparisons. This study developed a set of risk-adjusted caregiver/family outcome QIs for children's mental healthcare agencies. (2) Methods: Archival data from widely implemented interRAI child and youth assessment instruments was used. Previous methodology for QI calculation and risk adjustment was adapted and tested. (3) Results: Utilizing the interRAI suite of child and youth assessment instruments, a set of six QIs focusing on improvement or decline in parenting strengths, caregiver distress, and family functioning were developed. (4) Conclusions: The QIs established were sufficiently independent to represent different aspects of family wellbeing while the risk adjustment strategy developed was useful in removing client complexity from QI calculation. Implications for future directions, including the use of QIs at a systems level to more accurately direct resources and set performance benchmarks, are discussed.
