1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 mental health (MH) of adolescents in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC), particularly those in rural areas, has historically been neglected in research and services, despite the documented burden MH problems represent among these populations. Settings where MH stigma is high require strategic research methods. Photovoice is a promising method for MH research in contexts of high stigma, but studies examining its acceptability with rural adolescents in LMIC remain scarce. We explored the acceptability of photovoice for MH research through perspectives of adolescents from rural Mexico who participated in a photovoice project focused on factors affecting their MH. Adolescents (n = 40) participated in focus groups where they discussed what they learned through the MH photovoice project, and the aspects of the method they perceived to be valuable. Focus groups transcripts were thematically analyzed. Participants' satisfaction with the MH photovoice project was tied to: (1) learning about the meaning, nature, and experiences of MH; (2) enjoying relationships, novelty, and fun; and (3) wishing for more time, more play, and continuity. Photovoice is an acceptable method for MH research among rural adolescents in LMIC, sparking reflection and collective dialog that can lead to the development of local initiatives.
