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

backgroundIndividuals with psychosis are at risk for adverse sexual and reproductive health (SRH) experiences, and for receiving suboptimal SRH care. Early psychosis intervention (EPI) programs offer an opportunity to address SRH early in the illness course, yet SRH is not currently part of routine EPI care. This project sought to develop a SRH module for women, transgender, and gender-diverse individuals for delivery within EPI care.

methodsTo develop the SRH module, an integrated knowledge translation frame was used, informed by a community-based participatory action research approach. A working group was formed of diverse Youth Advisors (n = 3) and a Youth Engagement Specialist (n = 1) with lived experience with early psychosis, SRH experts (n = 3), mental health experts (n = 3), and research staff (n = 1). The working group met approximately biweekly to co-develop the module (January-October 2023). The module was formatted based on the NAVIGATE model of coordinated specialty care, and was informed by prior research on SRH and working group members' lived and clinical experiences.

resultsThe working group developed an interactive module covering five topics: (1) relationships, (2) sexual health, (3) reproductive health, (4) sexual orientation and gender identity, and (5) interpersonal violence. For each topic, client-facing materials (check-in questions, potential topics, worksheets) and clinician-facing materials (goals, handouts, suggested agendas, teaching strategies, tips for common challenges, evaluating gains and therapeutic goals, specific techniques, probes) were developed. SRH and mental health experts brought evidence-based content, and youth brought an affirming and youth-friendly lens to language and content.

conclusionThe developed module covers a broad array of SRH topics important to youth. If implementation is successful, the module could improve SRH-related well-being and outcomes for women, transgender, and gender-diverse youth with psychosis. Including youth with lived experience as collaborators enhanced inclusivity and relevance.Plain Language Summary TitleAddressing sexual and reproductive health for youth with early psychosis: description of a collaborative process to build a care module.
