A Promise Without Panacea: Psychedelic-Assisted Therapies in Modern Psychiatry.
Article in Cureus, 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
Psychedelic-assisted therapies have re-emerged as a subject of increasing scientific and clinical interest in psychiatry, particularly in the context of persistent treatment gaps for conditions such as treatment-resistant depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and substance use disorders. Compounds, including psilocybin and 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine, are being evaluated in controlled clinical trials and have demonstrated promising therapeutic effects when administered within structured psychotherapeutic frameworks. Emerging neurobiological evidence suggests that these agents may promote neural plasticity and facilitate cognitive and emotional flexibility, potentially enabling durable clinical improvement. Despite these advances, significant challenges remain, including regulatory uncertainty, methodological limitations in existing trials, ethical considerations related to patient vulnerability, and concerns regarding equitable access. This editorial examines the current state of psychedelic-assisted therapies, highlighting both their therapeutic potential and the critical considerations required for their responsible integration into mental health settings.
