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

objectives(1) To investigate the feasibility, acceptability, and fidelity of delivering the Youth Aware of Mental Health (YAM) program in Danish public schools to 8-9th-grade students, and (2) to explore the preliminary effects of the program on self-reported outcomes at 3- and 6-month follow-up.

methodsThis two-armed, cluster-randomized feasibility pilot trial involves 8-10 public schools across Denmark. School 8-9th-grade students are allocated to receive either the YAM program in addition to curriculum as usual or curriculum as usual plus YAM posters. Primary outcomes are participation rates, program adherence, and questionnaire completion. Secondary outcomes are assessed through questionnaires measuring suicidal behavior, psychological distress, well-being, help-seeking intentions, and suicide-related stigma. Data are collected at baseline, 3-month, and 6-month follow-up and analyzed using descriptive statistics and multi-level models to estimate preliminary effects.

resultsRecruitment began in August 2024, and the 6-month follow-up assessment will conclude in July 2025.

conclusionThis trial provides insight into the practical delivery of YAM in Danish public schools. Findings will inform potential adaptations and guide future implementation designs for school-based mental health strategies.
