Review in Current psychiatry reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06938997 (The Effectiveness of Combining AR/VR Technology in Virtual Clinical Auditory Hallucinations on the Comprehensive Auditory Hallucination Nursing Competency of Psychiatric Nurses), which is not on this map. Cited by 16 papers.

1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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.

Abstract

purpose of reviewThis examines significant trends and developments in the utilization of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) simulations in the field of mental health and education. The objective is to gain insights into the emerging applications of VR/AR in mental health interventions and their potential impact on patient outcomes. The review also includes personal observations on the effectiveness and challenges associated with VR/AR simulations and the rise of exciting, disruptive artificial intelligence large language models. The findings of this review contribute to the understanding of the current state of VR/AR technology in mental health and highlight potential future directions in this rapidly evolving field. RECENT

findingsRecent studies have shown that VR/AR simulation is an effective and promising approach for treating various anxiety disorders, including specific phobias, social anxiety disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Simulated environments can be tailored to induce provoking situations, allowing individuals to learn from and gradually confront and grow in controlled and safe environments. Recent findings in the field of virtual reality simulations in mental health indicate that VR/AR exposure therapy is effective for treating anxiety disorders, while interventions show promise in improving social skills in individuals working with patients. In a broader sense, the use of VR/AR as an educational tool shows enormous potential now that functional generative artificial intelligence (AI) is recently available.
