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.

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.

Abstract

backgroundThe rising rates in depression and other mental health problems among adolescents in recent years, combined with delayed help-seeking, highlights a clear need for action in key areas of adolescents' lives. The school environment, including teachers, can provide mental-health support for children and adolescents.

methodsThe study used a pre-post-follow-up design to investigate whether a two-hour online training course on depression and mental health in childhood and adolescence leads to knowledge acquisition, confidence in supporting pupils with depression and a decrease in stigmatisation in N = 97 teachers, school social workers and school social pedagogues.

resultsWe found a significant increase in knowledge and confidence in supporting pupils with depression at post-assessment, which was maintained at a four-week follow-up. A decrease in stigmatisation was found at post-assessment, which was no longer evident at follow-up.

conclusionThe results suggest that approaching educational professionals through a concise practical online training course can be a promising strategy for knowledge transfer. Future studies could examine whether such trainings can be adapted to other mental health disorders. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov, Identifier: NCT06387108. Registered on 24.04.24.
