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

Background: Children in foster care experience disproportionately high rates of mental illness, yet most do not receive timely or evidence-based mental health treatment. Foster parents play a critical role in treatment engagement but face substantial structural and informational barriers to accessing care. Objective: This study describes the development, human-centered design, open and pilot randomized controlled trial of Methods: FN+ is a 5-week, manualized intervention delivered via telehealth by trained community health workers. The study includes three phases: 1) human-centered design interviews with foster parents, caseworkers, and providers; 2) an open trial ( Conclusions: This study will provide critical feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness data for a scalable, cost-effective approach to improving mental health care access for children in foster care.
