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

In Santa Barbara County, the Youth Empowerment Services (YES) Program brought together several government and community-based organizations, as well as a university-based evaluation team, to provide pre-adjudication diversion to youth ages 12 to 17. The primary goals of this program were to reduce the number of misdemeanor arrests and reoffending rates in the county's juvenile justice system, and to support the strengths and needs of youth in a trauma-informed and culturally sensitive manner. This first-person account article shares the experiences of a community-university partnership with the implementation of this program. A history of collaboration, flexibility in the face of a global pandemic, and clinically useful evaluation tools supported the program during its initial external funding period and its continued success with a sustainable infrastructure and internal funding.
