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
Youth mental health emergencies are an increasingly prevalent problem, with many families experiencing barriers to accessing mental health resources after a hospital visit for a mental health emergency. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of a post-discharge telephone contact pilot program designed to assist caregivers of youths experiencing mental health emergencies in navigating these resources. The pilot initiative was retrospectively evaluated after being integrated into routine clinical care across inpatient, ambulatory, and emergency settings within a children's hospital in Baltimore, Maryland, from August 2022 to August 2023. The primary outcomes evaluated included: (1) the successful contact of caregivers, (2) the establishment of an initial mental health appointment for their child after a mental health emergency, and (3) the solicitation of additional assistance. Over the course of one year, a dedicated social worker, contributing 10 h per week, contacted nearly 1,000 caregivers. The program successfully reached 55% of caregivers with only one follow-up attempt and provided additional assistance to 21% of those engaged. This pilot program demonstrated the feasibility of multilingual caregiver outreach across demographic groups using existing clinical infrastructure to help families navigate post-discharge mental health care. The study indicates that such a program can be successfully implemented within existing infrastructure using minimal additional resources for outreach while identifying ongoing caregiver support needs following pediatric mental health emergencies.
