Supported employment as a global mental health intervention.
Article in Global mental health (Cambridge, England), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
The global health community has recognized that social determinants of health account for most of the inequities of health outcomes, including mental health outcomes, across and within countries. Strategies to overcome such inequities must focus on modifiable social factors. In this viewpoint, we argue for the preeminence of employment among social determinants of mental health for several reasons. People with mental health disabilities want to work, and a well-validated model of supported employment that is effective and cost-effective now exists. Employment leads to improvements in income, daily structure, self-esteem, social support, community integration and illness management, and people who are employed experience fewer emergencies and hospitalizations. Employment is empowering because people can use added income to activate their own choices regarding other social determinants. Supported employment actualizes the recovery paradigm: People who are employed in competitive jobs of their choice develop a meaningful functional life, increased self-esteem and new social supports. We provide examples of supported employment developments in diverse settings and discuss the implications of scaling up these services worldwide.
