Equity and access to a regional child and youth mental health and addiction navigation service: a secondary analysis study.
Article in BMC public health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundTo assess equity of access to a coordinated access service (1Call1Click.ca) in Eastern Ontario that connects infants, children, and youth to mental health, addictions and substance use health (MHASUH) support/services. Focusing on Social Determinants of Health (SDH), we analyze clientele for acuity and compare clientele demographics to service area population using census data.
methodSecondary analysis study of all clients (N = 9,694) (birth-21 years) who completed a 1Call1Click.ca intake between June 2021 and December 2023. We compared demographic characteristics (racial background, family income, and gender identity) of clients to regional data from the 2021 Census of Canada. We also examined whether SDH characteristics were associated with MHASUH need severity using standardized assessment tools (CASH Bundle).
resultsCompared to the regional population, 1Call1Click.ca was accessed at higher rates by service clients who were: (1) cisgender-female, non-binary, and transgender individuals, (2) clients from families with the lowest and highest incomes, and (3) who identified with multiple and "other" racial backgrounds. Underrepresented groups included cisgender-males and moderate-income households ($60,000-89,999 CAD). Filipino, Japanese, Chinese, South Asian, and Indigenous identifying individuals accessed services at lower-than-population rates. Small differences in MHASUH acuity were observed for racial background, gender identity, and family income, though not uniformly across measures.
conclusionsClients from historically disadvantaged groups accessed 1Call1Click.ca at rates largely representative of or exceeding those in the regional population. Differences in acuity were small and inconsistently identified. These findings suggest potential for coordinated access services in increasing equity for children and youth historically disadvantaged by SDH.
