Article in Administration and policy in mental health, 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.

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
Understanding the perspectives of individuals with mental health concerns and the influence of barriers and facilitators on treatment access can help mental health professionals ensure that those they serve receive needed care. The current study examined these factors in an online survey among 295 adults self-identifying as diagnosed with a mental health condition, which they felt was uncontrolled by intervention or psychiatric medication and impacted their daily lives. Most participants were not receiving psychotherapy or psychiatric medication, although some were accessing care and indicating unmet needs. A majority expressed a desire for more specialized care. Positive perception of providers, higher distress, and greater stigma tolerance were related to greater openness towards receiving psychotherapy and greater openness to psychotherapy, higher distress, and lower perceived barriers were associated with psychotherapy receipt. The relationship between openness towards psychotherapy and receipt was also stronger for those who perceived lower barriers to care. Advocacy and efforts to promote positive attitudes and reduce barriers by mental health practitioners and professional organizations may help support treatment access.
