Scaling up Mental Healthcare for Perinatal Populations: Is Telemedicine the Answer?
Review in Current psychiatry reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 2 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
purpose of reviewTelemedicine has transformed our ability to access and offer mental healthcare. There remain key questions to facilitate scalable, patient-centered solutions for perinatal mental health. We critically evaluate the recent literature and propose potential future directions. RECENT
findingsThe current literature highlights the promise of telemedicine in the prevention and treatment of perinatal depression, including the preference for and the potential efficacy of telemedicine-delivered mental healthcare when compared to in-person treatments. There remains a need for large, adequately powered randomized controlled trials; integration of trauma into depression and anxiety trials, transdiagnostic treatment of perinatal women, and scaling up these effective treatments into existing health and payer systems. Pragmatic, evidence-based solutions exist to effectively scale-up treatments for perinatal mental health. While research is underway to address the growing treatment gap, questions remain regarding who will deliver and pay for these treatments and how we can leverage telemedicine to treat perinatal mental health transdiagnostically.
