The effects of data disclosure on adolescent reporting of depression: a school-hosted depression screening.
Observational study in Social psychiatry and psychiatric epidemiology, 2026. 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
purposeThis study aimed to examine the effects of data disclosure on adolescent's willingness to report depression.
methodsThis observational study delved into the impact of data disclosure on adolescents' ( in grades 7 to 9) willingness to disclose depression assessed with with the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) in a middle school setting. We measured students' depression levels and their preferences for confidentiality regarding depression screening results through self-administered electronic questionnaires.
resultsA total of 2219 student responses were included in this study (47.1% female). Notably, those students who opted for complete confidentiality exhibited a significantly higher prevalence of depression (OR = 2.56; 95% CI = 1.92-3.41; P < 0.001). Furthermore, within the subset of students preferring partial confidentiality, those who wished to conceal their depression screening results from their parents displayed a significantly elevated prevalence of depression (OR = 2.20; 95% CI = 1.54-3.14; P < 0.001).
conclusionOur findings underscore the critical importance of cultivating a child-friendly screening environment that encourages children and adolescents to feel comfortable and forthcoming in providing honest responses. By doing so, we can enhance the accuracy and effectiveness of depression screening efforts, thereby promoting the well-being of our youth.
