Psychotherapy use among migrants: a register-based longitudinal study.
Article in Journal of epidemiology and community health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundMigrants use less mental health services compared with non-migrant populations, but there is very little information on the use of long-term psychotherapy among migrants. Finnish register data allow for studying the whole migrant population in Finland and collecting data on all publicly supported rehabilitative psychotherapy.
methodsThis study is based on a sample of migrants (n=185 605) and Finnish-born controls (n=185 605). Participants who had received reimbursements for rehabilitative psychotherapy during 2007
resultsFinnish-born participants received psychotherapy more often (n=7258) than migrants (n=1516). The adjusted HR for initiating psychotherapy among migrants compared with Finnish-born individuals was 0.27 (95% CI 0.25 to 0.28). Migrants from sub-Saharan Africa and Asia and recently arrived migrants were least likely to receive psychotherapy. Migrants were more likely to receive short treatment periods than Finnish-born controls.
conclusionLower use of rehabilitative psychotherapy among migrant population in Finland is not likely to reflect lower need for treatment. More efforts are needed to promote equal access to psychotherapy.
