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
backgroundAboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples share rich cultural traditions unrivalled across the world; however, the continued impact of colonisation led to sustained, profound trauma that has spanned generations. With Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people presenting to hospital emergency departments (ED) for self-harm and suicidal behaviours at a rate 2.9 times higher than non-Indigenous people, there is a need to develop culturally appropriate interventions to address this growing problem.
objectiveThis paper sought to describe the co-design process of culturally adapting a brief therapeutic intervention for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people who display self-harm and/or suicidal behaviours. The adaptation focus was Therapeutic Assessment (TA), a brief intervention provided to young people who present to the ED with self-harm.
settingThe process was split into two phases located in Geraldton and Meekatharra, two communities in the Mid-west of Western Australia.
participantsIn phase one, three male Aboriginal young people (aged between 16 and 19 years old) and eight Aboriginal Elders participated in two yarning circles run on one day. In phase two, 26 Aboriginal young people (aged between 12 and 25 years old), five Aboriginal senior members of the community and one Aboriginal carer participated in a combination of small yarning circles and/or single interviews.
resultsThis paper describes the elements of the culturally safe process of adapting a brief intervention for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people experiencing self-harm and/or suicidal behaviours.
conclusionTwo points are important to note. The first is that implementing a culturally safe process can be an outcome in itself, and second, that the principles supporting cultural safety can assist in evaluating how non-Indigenous researchers implement this process.
