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
backgroundMental ill-health is increasingly recognised as one of today's major public health challenges. Many possible causes exist, distributed across all socio-political arenas. It is generally agreed that promotive, and preventive policies should be multisectoral, yet there is a lack of empirical studies concerning such endeavours. In a collaborative effort of 26 national governmental agencies, a proposal for a new national mental health and suicide prevention strategy was developed in Sweden.
objectivesTo explore key stakeholders' perceptions of the process for developing a new national strategy proposal.
methodsThis is a qualitative study based on interviews with 25 representatives from 20 national governmental agencies and two external organisations. We used Directed Content Analysis and applied the Health Policy Triangle as analytical framework.
resultsWe found that the multisectoral collaboration led to agencies' realisation of their limited knowledge about each other's way of operating. The development process has been perceived as uncharacteristically long and loosely directed. Exploring contextual factors shed light on a need for better care, prevention, and promotion. For a successful implementation of the strategy, respondents demanded clear tasks from the government. Ultimately, respondents highlighted the collaborative implementation of the strategy over its content.
conclusionsThe multisectoral developmental process was perceived as successful in convening various stakeholders to establish a basis for more collaborative work, particularly regarding the strategy's implementation. The process did not only serve the purpose to develop a new strategy, but also allowed national agencies to learn about each other and how to collaborate going forward.
