Factors driving implementation success of mental health gap action programme (mhGAP) in Colombia: a cross-sectional study.
Article in Discover mental 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
backgroundThere are gaps in people's access to mental health recovery. To this end, global programs have been outlined to strengthen primary health care and community settings. However, there are implementation challenges and a lack of monitoring.
objectiveto determine key variables for the effective implementation of the mhGAP guides within the framework of primary health care (mhGAP-IG) and in connection with community actions (mhGAP community toolkit).
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted with the participation of 447 individuals trained for the application of the mhGAP program. To assess facilitators, accessibility, adaptability, and acceptability of the program, as well as national and territorial capacity for training and supervision, the Implementation Drivers Scale was used. The scale is based on the Active Implementation Framework, and incorporates drivers for to ensure that evidence-based practices are faithfully implemented. These drivers include staff selection, training, supervision, intervention adaptation, and organizational support.
resultsSignificant and relevant correlations for the maintenance of the program between monitoring and effectiveness. Exist significant differences between the groups with and without follow-up in all evaluated variables: Total IDS (U = 11569.000, p < 0.001), System (U = 13028.000, p < 0.001), Access (U = 15953.500, p < 0.001), Adaptation/Access (U = 15280.500, p < 0.001), and Training/Supervision (U = 12605.000, p < 0.001).
conclusionsAmong the globally proposed strategies, the Mental Health Gap Action Programme (mhGAP) stands out. The importance of adequate and complete program implementation is emphasized, supported by a monitoring process that facilitates progressive appropriation and promotes intersectoral coordination processes to address barriers related to lack of resources and resistance to change.
