Burden of mental disorders and risk factors in the Western Pacific region from 1990 to 2021.
Article in World journal of psychiatry, 2025. 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
backgroundThe burden of mental disorders (MD) in the Western Pacific Region (WPR) remains a critical public health concern, with substantial variations across demographics and countries.
aimTo analyze the burden of MD in the WPR from 1990 to 2021, along with associated risk factors, to reveal changing trends and emerging challenges.
methodsWe used data from the Global Burden of Disease 2021, analyzing prevalence, incidence, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) of MD from 1990 to 2021. Statistical methods included age-standardisation and uncertainty analysis to address variations in population structure and data completeness.
resultsBetween 1990 and 2021, the prevalence of MD rose from 174.40 million cases [95% uncertainty interval (UI): 160.17-189.84] to 234.90 million cases (95%UI: 219.04-252.50), with corresponding DALYs increasing from 22.8 million (95%UI: 17.22-28.79) to 32.07 million (95%UI: 24.50-40.68). During this period, the burden of MD shifted towards older age groups. Depressive and anxiety disorders were predominant, with females showing higher DALYs for depressive and anxiety disorders, and males more affected by conduct disorders, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and autism spectrum disorders. Australia, New Zealand, and Malaysia reported the highest burdens, whereas Vietnam, China, and Brunei Darussalam reported the lowest. Additionally, childhood sexual abuse and bullying, and intimate partner violence emerged as significant risk factors.
conclusionThis study highlights the significant burden of MD in the WPR, with variations by age, gender, and nation. The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic has exacerbated the situation, emphasizing the need for a coordinated response.
