Age equality in mental health: Déjà vu all over again.
Article in Psychology and psychotherapy, 2026. 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
aimsAgeism is one of the last socially accepted prejudices. This paper aims to highlight key areas of age discrimination and inequality in mental health services. DISCUSSION: It will discuss examples, drawn mainly from the UK, in terms of mental health inequalities to illustrate age inequality. It will define what is meant by 'older people' before discussing ageism and age equality. Examples will be given of the impact of ageism has on the mental health of older people themselves, the impact of institutional ageism on the unequal access older people have to age-appropriate services. Additionally, as older people present differently, their needs are not always recognised. This demonstrates the need for further training and education for health and social care professionals.
conclusionIt will conclude with hope and encouragement for action with possible ideas to take forward to continue to address this. It calls for allies to address 'Everyday Ageism' and will signpost readers to resources that may assist them in their endeavours to challenge this.
