Making mental health more accessible in light of COVID-19: Scalable digital health with digital navigators in low and middle-income countries.
Article in Asian journal of psychiatry, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 28 papers, 5 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.
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
The rapid spread of COVID-19 and the devastating consequences to economies and healthcare systems around the world has highlighted the exigent need for accessible mental health support. Increasing use of mobile devices in Lower Middle-Income Countries (LMIC) such as India offers novel opportunity to expand treatment options and reach underserved populations. Prior efforts have utilized technology to redistribute or supplement clinical care but measurable outcomes of this research are limited. In this paper, we explain the structural barriers that prevent access to care and build on prior research to demonstrate how technology can be utilized to offer treatment if it is aided by education and technical support.
