1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundBarriers to mental health treatment have been identified among individuals managing food allergy (FA), yet little is known about their experiences accessing this care.

objectiveWe assessed the mental health treatment experiences of caregivers and adults with FA within the Global Access to Psychological Services for FA Study.

methodsCaregivers of children with FA and adults with FA from >20 countries completed online surveys about experiences with FA-related mental health treatment.

resultsOverall, 21.6% (411 of 1907) of caregivers and 22.8% (304 of 1329) of adults reported receiving FA-related mental health treatment. Most of those participants (96.2%) lived in Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Spain, the United Kingdom, or the United States. Cognitive behavioral therapy was the most common treatment reported by caregivers (30.1%) and adults (33.2%). Most caregivers and adults were at least somewhat satisfied with their experience (75.9% and 72.4%, respectively) and perceived that mental health providers were at least somewhat FA knowledgeable (62.5% and 60.06%, respectively), although caregiver and adult perceptions of knowledge significantly varied by country with lowest percentages in Australia (31.8% and 33.4%, respectively) and highest in Portugal (96.0% and 90.9%, respectively), P < .01. Most caregivers (72.1%) and adults (75.0%) reported that mental health providers were at least somewhat helpful at addressing FA concerns, albeit again with significant international differences, P < .01.

conclusionsMost caregivers and adults reported satisfaction with FA-related mental health treatment and believed that providers were somewhat FA knowledgeable. However, intercountry attitudes about FA-related mental health treatment experiences were noted.
