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
IntroductionIndigenous adolescents experience unique biopsychosocial challenges compounded by cultural disruption, territorial displacement, and systematic marginalization. These factors contribute to elevated rates of psychological distress and suicide among Indigenous adolescent, necessitating culturally responsive mental health programmes that center youth voice and cultural values.ObjectiveTo develop and evaluate adolescent-led art-based vignettes as a culturally sensitive methodology for promoting mental health discussions among Kaingang Indigenous adolescents in the IMPACT study (Implementation of a multi-sectoral programme to improve Indigenous adolescent mental health in Brazil and Dominica)MethodWe conducted an exploratory qualitative study using participatory action research principles. Twenty-four Kaingang adolescents (ages 10-18) from two Indigenous schools participated in 12 workshops over six months. Participants created vignettes across multiple artistic formats (videos, drawings, songs) addressing school, family, and community contexts. Data collection included 10 group dynamics with adolescents, teachers, health professionals, and community leaders. Thematic analysis following Braun and Clarke's framework was conducted with cultural validation from community members.ResultsParticipants created 29 vignettes addressing key themes including cultural discrimination, substance use, environmental degradation, family dynamics, and spiritual practices. Protective factors identified included family support, sports participation, and community connections. Risk factors encompassed increased substance use, family conflict, discrimination, and environmental destruction. Vignettes effectively facilitated dialogue about sensitive topics including psychological distress, cultural identity, and belonging while creating safe spaces for collective reflection.ConclusionAdolescent-led vignette creation represents a promising, culturally grounded approach to Indigenous adolescent mental health promotion. This methodology successfully fostered meaningful dialogue, adolescent agency, and reflective engagement while honoring cultural values and community knowledge systems. Despite limitations in sample size, findings support expanding this participatory approach across diverse Indigenous contexts to strengthen intercultural mental health programmes.
