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

Although Indigenous Peoples represent 5% of the population in Canada, they present higher rates of psychosocial problems including mental health issues and suicide than their non-Indigenous counterparts. They are also over-represented in the youth protection and prison systems. This must be understood within the specific context of the oppression of Indigenous Peoples in Canada through colonization and colonialist policies. To improve Indigenous mental health and wellbeing, the oppression underlying it must be addressed. The objective of this article is to illustrate how we, as mental health researchers, can contribute to this process. Based on Collins' matrix of domination, and bell hooks's space of resistance, an analysis of community-based participatory research and its impacts on helping Indigenous People overcome oppression is offered. Limits of participatory research's contributions to social change are presented. Anti-oppressive participatory research is offered as a promising alternative.
