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
introductionIncreasing numbers of post-secondary students (PSS) are reporting mental health problems, and service needs often outweigh campus capacity, especially among PSS with acute issues. Stronger pathways linking campus and hospital-based care have therefore been recommended. In collaboration with Canada's largest university and largest mental health and addictions hospital, a Navigation Service for PSS accessing the emergency department (ED) was launched in 2022. The service provides developmentally appropriate, trauma-informed transition support to PSS following hospital discharge to prevent recurrent crises. This paper describes service development, design, and usage.
methodsHealth administrative data from the first 2 years of service use were analysed to describe the population of PSS using the ED. Factors associated with service referral, service registration and ED return after service discharge were examined using logistic regression and Fisher's exact tests.
resultsSix hundred and forty-nine PSS used the ED between September 2022 and August 2024 and of these 331 (51%) were referred to the service. Referrals were significantly associated with younger age, female gender, lack of provincial health insurance, and suicidal ideation; lower odds of referral were associated with substance use. ED return after discharge from the service (11.8%) was significantly lower than among those never referred (22.1%, p = 0.02).
conclusionThe service fills an essential gap in the landscape of student mental health services by ensuring PSS requiring hospital intervention can safely return to campus. Two years of data provide important insights regarding who is getting a referral and what can be done to improve service access.
