Digital Mental Health Interventions for Adolescents and Young People: Evaluating Efficacy and Accessibility.
Review in Cureus, 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.
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
Mental health issues are a significant concern among adolescents and young people. Despite the high prevalence of depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues among these individuals, they do not get adequate health and social services. This gap in conventional care has led to a surge in digital mental health interventions (DMHIs). These approaches include mobile apps, online counseling, virtual reality, and teletherapy. Significant evidence has emerged in favor of DMHIs, with improved patient outcomes in various mental health conditions. However, the long-term effects of these interventions remain to be investigated. Furthermore, there are still significant barriers that limit the widespread application of DMHIs. Barriers to access, including technology availability, digital literacy, socioeconomic factors, and stigma, disproportionately affect marginalized groups. This review summarizes the current evidence regarding the efficacy of different DMHIs in managing various mental health conditions. Furthermore, the review also addresses the role of technological platforms in delivering these interventions and explores ethical concerns such as data privacy, informed consent, and the need for regulatory frameworks.
