Financing Community Mental Health Worker Programs in the United States: Three Paths Forward.
Article in Community mental health journal, 2026. 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
The United States is in need of novel solutions to deliver mental health care, especially in the wake of inadequate community health financing following deinstitutionalization. The community mental health work model, in which lay providers deliver basic mental health care and refer to higher levels of care as needed, is proven internationally and has started to be implemented within the United States. Securing sustainable financing for the expansion of these programs remains a challenge. Here, we discuss three avenues for advancing the funding of United States based community mental health work programs. First, by implementing a volunteer model similar to that which has been done internationally; second, by bolstering pre-existing U.S. healthcare funding mechanisms; third, by pursuing a novel collaborative financing mechanism that is rooted in public good economics.
