Rural Community-Based Interventions to Improve the Mental Health and Wellbeing of Children and Young People: A Rapid Scoping Review of the Quantitative and Qualitative Evidence.
Article in Journal of community psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
This study synthesised evidence on community-based interventions targeting the mental health and wellbeing of children and young people in rural and remote locations. Scoping review methodology was employed. Searches of six databases were conducted. Titles and abstracts (N = 6457) were screened against inclusion and exclusion criteria, followed by full text screening (N = 61). Twelve publications reporting 10 unique interventions were identified. Interventions varied in design and delivery, with the majority targeting adolescents and focusing on either prevention (e.g., suicide) or improvement of mental health or wellbeing. Themes identified in the synthesis of intervention outcomes included mood and self-esteem, resilience and coping, and belonging and social connectedness. Barriers and facilitators to intervention implementation were also identified. Initial evidence suggests positive impacts on youth mental health, wellbeing, and community relationships. However, further research into rural community-based interventions is needed.
