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.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The integration of the metaverse in healthcare has been evolving, encompassing various areas such as mental health interventions, neurological treatments, physical therapy, rehabilitation, medical education, and surgical procedure assistance. For the adolescent population, growing in the digital era and witnessing the interaction of technology with daily life has made digitalization a second nature. Despite the potential of this technology in advancing adolescent mental health care and treatment, there is a notable gap in research and development. Thus, this commentary article aims to elucidate the current landscape of emerging technologies for adolescent mental healthcare in the metaverse, identify potential challenges with its implementation in this growing population, as well as provide recommendations to overcome these obstacles.
