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
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are overrepresented in the Australian justice system. Previous research has uncovered a number of risk factors. However, very little attention, by comparison, has been given to protective factors, including Social and Emotional Wellbeing (SEWB) markers. The aim of the current study was to examine the relationship between SEWB markers and justice system non-involvement. The study utilised secondary data from the 2014-2015 National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social Survey, for young people aged 16-24 years. A hierarchical logistic regression found that SEWB markers were not significantly associated with justice system non-involvement when controlling for other variables. Being female, experiencing fair treatment as an Aboriginal person, abstaining from substances, being employed and housing stability were significantly associated with justice system non-involvement. These identified protective factors can inform preventative intervention strategies for young Aboriginal people at risk of involvement with the justice system.
