Effectiveness of Mental Health Literacy and Stigma Interventions for Latino/a Adults in the United States: A Systematic Review.
Article in Stigma and health, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers.
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
Latinos/as in the United States (U.S.), face persistent mental health care disparities, even after adjusting for education, health insurance, and socioeconomic factors. While there has been increased attention on mental health stigma and mental health literacy, no systematic literature review currently exists of interventions developed to reduce mental health stigma and improve mental health literacy in the Latino/a community. This review aimed to (1) examine the methodological rigor of these intervention studies, (2) describe the mental health literacy and stigma interventions developed for Latinos/as in the U.S., and (3) summarize the outcomes of these studies focusing on mental health literacy and stigma outcomes. This study followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines to inform our systematic literature review. The methodological rigor of each study was assessed using an adapted version of the Methodological Quality Rating Scale. Seven articles met the inclusion criteria for this review. The majority of studies were small pilot studies with small samples and short follow-up periods of less than a month. These interventions showed promising results for improving knowledge of mental disorders and mixed results for reducing stigma towards people with mental illness and mental health treatments. As the Latino/a population continues to grow, future research should continue investigating and developing more intensive and prolonged mental health stigma interventions that use multiple media platforms (e.g., radio, television, website, print, and social media) to help reduce mental health care disparities in this population.
