Findings on impact of COVID-19 on mental health using keyword visualization.
Article in Central European journal of public health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveThe EU global health priorities focus on ensuring better health and well-being for people throughout their lives as well as on reducing inequalities between countries. The COVID-19 pandemic can be understood as a set of several events that directly or indirectly affected the mental health of people around the world. The aim of this study was to identify the main groupings of co-occurrence of all keywords related to the main keywords "COVID-19" and "mental health" acquired through search in the Scopus database using the VOSviewer tool.
methodsDescriptive study based on a bibliometric analysis of the occurrence of the keywords "COVID-19" and "mental health" in scientific articles retrieved from the Scopus database on 31 January 2023 covering period from 2020 to 2022 plus January 2023 in the field of medical research. The result was 1,625 articles extracted into a csv file and inserted into VOSviewer tool. By counting the number of co-occurrences of keywords using the VOSviewer, the final result was 1,211 keywords. Out of the 1,211 keywords 44 different keywords with the total power link strength of association with the keywords "COVID-19" and "mental health" were selected.
resultsThe presence of high rates and power links of depression and anxiety after the pandemic situation has been confirmed by visualization of keywords in scientific articles retrieved from Scopus database. The keywords "social support", "social isolation", "perceived social support", and "dementia" inform us about potential areas of research and trigger discussion about the impact of the recent pandemic on mental health. Another warning was the occurrence of the keyword "obesity" and its association with health consequences for individuals and society. Among all countries, the United States, the United Kingdom and China contributed the most with scientific publications focusing on pandemic and mental health.
conclusionThe visualization of the keywords "COVID-19" and "mental health", specifically "depression" and "anxiety" create a new area for further research as well as establishing preventive measures leading to protection from mental health damage in the events of possible dangers of this type.
