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
Stigma, discrimination, poor help seeking, dearth of mental health professionals, inadequate services and facilities all adversely impact the mental health treatment gap. Service utilization by the community is influenced by cultural beliefs and literacy levels. We conducted a situational analysis in light of the little information available on mental health related stigma, service provision and utilization in Haryana, a state in Northern India. This involved: (a) qualitative key informant interviews; (b) health facility records review; and (c) policy document review to understand the local context of Faridabad district in Northern India. Ethical approvals for the study were taken before the study commenced. Phone call in-depth interviews were carried out with a purposive sample of 13 participants (Mean = 38.07 years) during the COVID-19 pandemic, which included 4 community health workers, 4 people with mental illness, 5 service providers (primary health care doctors and mental health specialists). Data for health facility review was collected from local primary health and specialist facilities while key policy documents were critically analysed for service provision and stigma alleviation activities. Thematic analysis was used to analyse patterns within the interview data. We found poor awareness and knowledge about mental illnesses, belief in faith and traditional healers, scarcity of resources (medicines, trained professionals and mental health inpatient and outpatient clinics), poor access to appropriate mental health facilities, and high costs for seeking mental health care. There is a critical gap between mental health related provisions in policy documents and its implementation at primary and district level.
