Long-term effects of filmed social contact or internet-based self-study on mental health-related stigma: a 2-year follow-up of a randomised controlled trial.
Trial report in Social psychiatry and psychiatric epidemiology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05687162 (Brief Internet Interventions to Support Mental Health), which is not on this map. Cited by 18 papers, 4 of them syntheses that pooled 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.

Abstract
purposeThere is a critical need to clarify the long-term effects of anti-stigma interventions. The study aimed to assess the long-term effects of repeated filmed social contact or internet-based self-study on mental health-related stigma through a randomised controlled trial with 2-year follow-up.
methodsWe randomly allocated 259 university or college students to a filmed social contact group, an internet-based self-study group, or a control group. The filmed social contact and internet-based self-study groups each received a 30-min initial intervention followed by emailed interventions every 2 months over a 12-month period. The Japanese version of the Reported and Intended Behaviour Scale (RIBS-J) and the Mental Illness and Disorder Understanding Scale (MIDUS) were used to assess behaviour, behavioural intentions (attitudes), and knowledge regarding mental health.
resultsOf the 259 original participants, 187 completed the 24-month follow-up assessment. Mean scores for the RIBS-J future domain and MIDUS peaked at 1 month after initial intervention. Compared with baseline, at 24-month follow-up, we found a significant difference in RIBS-J future domain scores between the filmed social contact and control groups at 24-month follow-up (B = 0.95, 95% CI = 0.01,1.90, p = 0.049), while MIDUS scores in the filmed social contact group (B = - 4.59, 95%CI = - 6.85, - 2.33, p < 0.001) and the internet-based self-study group (B = - 4.51, 95%CI = - 6.86, - 2.15, p < 0.001) significantly decreased compared with the control group.
conclusionWhile outcome scores peaked at 1 month after initial intervention, results suggest that filmed social contact might have a long-term effect on behavioural intentions, and both filmed social contact and internet-based self-study may contribute to improved knowledge of mental health.
