Professional mental health aid for children, adolescents, and young adults during COVID-19 in Flanders, Belgium.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 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
Few studies have investigated whether children, adolescents, and young adults (aged 10-25 years) had access to professional mental health aid when they desired it during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. An online survey was conducted in Flanders, Belgium, to examine professional mental health aid access (PMHAA). In total, 982 respondents were included, of whom the majority were between 13 and 15 years old (44.8%) and female (81.4%). Of these, 64.8% felt a need for PMHAA. Of those wanting PMHAA, only 29.6% had an appointment with a mental health professional. Those who did not have PMHAA mostly did not do so because of fear of stigma (54%), not knowing where to search for professional mental health aid (38.2%), and finding the aid to be too expensive (12.9%). This study's findings indicate a large unmet need for professional mental health aid during the COVID-19 pandemic among people aged between 10 and 25 years old. There is a need for a campaign to reduce mental health stigma in this population.
