"We have to keep moving": perspectives on the challenges and opportunities in providing mental health services for people on the move in Latin America.
Article in Frontiers in psychiatry, 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
Navigating considerable risk and uncertainty, including high rates of violence and recent tightening of migration policies, People on the Move (PoM) in Latin America face significant mental health challenges and barriers to care. From 2021 to 2025, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has provided psychological and psychiatric services to PoM in Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica, and Panama, conducting almost 17,000 consultations since 2024 alone. In our experience, patients face a complex clinical landscape characterized by limited patient-provider interaction time, constantly changing health systems, and inconsistent referral and medication availability, among other challenges. The urgent need to meet basic survival and protection needs often delays attention to mental health. The highly diverse patient population, both from the region and beyond, requires ongoing adaptation to different languages, cultures, and precipitating events and circumstances. In response, MSF adapts a holistic care package including single, brief therapy sessions; group psychoeducation sessions; pediatric recreational activities; cultural mediators; travel kits with psychiatric medication; and trainings for local providers through the Mental Health Gap Action Programme. Additionally, holistic care integrates mental health services with general medical care and social services, while telehealth and digital health promotion enable providers to reach PoM beyond in-person consults. Recent migration policy changes and funding cuts threaten to exacerbate both the mental health of PoM and barriers in service delivery. Ongoing innovation and adaption are essential to support mental health of PoM in a context of evolving and often punitive regional migration policies.
