Effectiveness of Digital Mental Health Interventions for Children and Adolescents.
Review in Children (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesChildren's mental health is an issue of growing global concern, with a significant impact on children's emotional, social and cognitive development. In recent years, digital apps and platforms have emerged as innovative tools to address mental health challenges. This systematic review aims to evaluate the effectiveness of these technologies in supporting children's and adolescents' mental health.
methodsA systematic search of PubMed, PsycINFO, Scopus and Web of Science databases was conducted.
resultsThe results suggest that digital apps and platforms have significant potential to support children's mental health. However, their effectiveness depends on factors such as app design, parental involvement and cultural adaptation.
conclusionsThe inclusion of gamified elements and integration with traditional mental health strategies can enhance outcomes.
