Understanding the Multi-Faceted Nature of the Public Stigma of Mental Illness: Insights and Implications From a Structural Violence Perspective.
Article in International journal of mental health nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The societal stigma surrounding mental illness emerges because of dysfunctional social dynamics between patients, their families and the broader community. This phenomenon, referred to as public stigma, manifests through discriminatory actions or the exclusion of individuals within power structures. Public stigma detrimentally affects the well-being and recovery of those grappling with mental illness, impeding their quality of life. This paper discusses public stigma, examining society's negative attitudes toward individuals diagnosed with mental illness, the systemic injustices perpetuating their marginalisation and the ramifications for nursing practice. Ultimately, the authors propose a theoretical framework to educate and inform health professionals across both mental health and general medical domains, as well as policymakers, about the impact of structural violence in perpetuating public stigma and providing recommendations for remedial action.
