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

Introduction: Against the backdrop of mental health problems showing a trend towards an increasingly younger demographic, the stigmatization faced by adolescent patients has become increasingly prominent. Existing research predominantly adopts a microscopic and pathological perspective, often overlooking the agency of adolescent patients in expressing and resisting stigmatization. Methods: Utilizing a participatory action research approach, this study conducts an in-depth analysis of the stigmatization narratives of adolescent patients based on photovoice practices. Results and Discussion: The findings reveal that stigmatization associated with adolescent mental health problems is not a static label but is continuously constructed through multi-dimensional interactions between the individual and the self, family, peers, and society. It functions both as a pre-existing trigger contributing to the onset of mental health problems and as a post-diagnosis consequence arising from the illness, with the two interwoven in a cyclical relationship. Throughout this process, adolescent patients develop a set of struggle strategies ranging from individual self-help to collective mutual help. Moving forward, it is recommended to leverage the strengths of the photovoice to establish and reinforce an empowerment-oriented social support system, facilitating the stable recovery of adolescents with mental health problems.
