Promises and Pitfalls of Internet Search Data in Mental Health: Critical Review.
Review in JMIR mental health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Unlabelled: The internet is now integral to everyday life, and users' web-based search data could be of strategic importance in mental health care. As shown by previous studies, internet searches may provide valuable insights into an individual's mental state and could be of great value in early identification and helping in pathways to care. Internet search data can potentially provide real-time identification (eg, alert mechanisms for timely interventions). In this paper, we discuss the various problems related to the use of these data in research and clinical practice, including privacy concerns, integration with clinical information, and technical limitations. We also propose solutions to address these issues and provide possible future directions.
