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

objectiveThis qualitative study seeks to explore community-level risk and protective factors influencing substance use and mental health among urban youth in Paterson, New Jersey, and to identify actionable targets for prevention and mental health interventions using a community trauma framework.

methodsPurposive and venue-based sampling was used as a method to recruit youth (

resultsThree major themes emerged from our focus groups with youth from Paterson, which include: 1) the socio-cultural environment and its impact on substance misuse; 2) physical and built environment, and 3) educational and economic environment, all major constructs of the Community Trauma framework, which was used as a guide to interpret findings.

conclusionsOur findings demonstrate that youth in Paterson view substance use as deeply intertwined with their socio-cultural, physical, and economic environments. These results highlight the need for multilevel interventions such as improving neighborhood safety and increasing access to culturally responsive mental health services. Policy implications include enacting zoning ordinances to limit the density of tobacco, marijuana, and alcohol retailers near schools and implementing school-based mental health programs. Taken together, these strategies can reduce youth exposure to risk environments and promote healthier developmental trajectories for urban youth of color.
