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: High school teachers have a key role to play in supporting their students in this stage of adolescent growth, especially given the increasing prevalence of mental disorders in this population. However, it has been observed that these teachers lack confidence, commitment and knowledge related to the management of mental health problems and show a high level of stigma. The goal of this research was therefore to evaluate the effectiveness of a mental health prevention and promotion training programme by led mental health nurse, aimed at reducing the stigmatising attitudes of teachers at schools in Spain. Methods: A multicentre, non-randomised, community-based study was therefore carried out, with a pre-post-test and a three-month follow-up. The teachers ( Results: Statistical analyses showed a significant improvement in the level of stigma at the post-programme evaluation for all scale dimensions except Responsibility and Help, which were also maintained over time, since at 3 months the reduction in the level of teacher stigma was lower for all scale dimensions except Responsibility and Avoidance. The effect size of the improvement in stigma level was moderate-high for Pity, Coercion and Segregation ( Conclusion: This training programme based on anti-stigma measures led by a mental health nurse was effective in reducing stigmatising attitudes in high school teachers in both the short and the long term.
