Impact of treatment attendance on mental health outcomes within task-shared psychological treatments: a causal analysis from the PRIME India study.
Article in Global mental health (Cambridge, England), 2025. 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
Task-shared psychological treatments play a critical role in addressing the global mental health treatment gap, yet their integration into routine care requires further study. This study evaluated the causal association between an implementation factor of a task-shared psychological treatment and participant outcomes to strengthen the implementation-to-outcome link within global mental health. This secondary analysis utilized cohort data from the Program for Improving Mental Health Care (PRIME) implemented in Sehore, India where trained non-specialist health workers delivered treatment for depression and alcohol use disorder (AUD). Propensity scores and inverse probability of treatment weights examined the impact of mental health service users' treatment attendance on users' symptom severity (PHQ-9 scores for depression; AUDIT scores for AUD) at 3 and 12-month follow-ups. Among the 240 patients with depression, higher treatment session attendance led to 1.3 points lower PHQ-9 scores (vs. no attendance) and 2.4 points lower PHQ-9 scores (vs. low attendance) at 3 months, with no significant effects at 12 months. Among the 190 AUD patients, treatment session attendance did not have a significant impact on AUDIT scores. Our findings have implications for enhancing treatment session attendance among those with depression within task-shared psychological treatments.
