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

Objective: We explored the provision of single-session interventions (SSIs) in public child and adolescent mental health service (CAMHS) provision, using freedom of information (FOI) requests to gather data from National Health Service (NHS) trusts. Method: FOI requests were sent to all NHS trusts in England with CAMHS in 2024, seeking information on SSI use, delivery, and implementation. Results: Responses from participating trusts indicated that most trusts did not use SSIs, with varied deployment of SSIs in those that provided them. Some trusts reported plans to expand SSI provision. Conclusion: Although SSIs are used in some CAMHS, variability in practice and reporting suggests a need for further research into decision-making and strategies for the implementation of SSIs in different localities.
