1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 Slovenian experience of establishing community-based mental health (CBMH) services, including expanding CBMH centers, securing funding, enhancing training, and involving mental health workers, offers a valuable example for the Philippines and other LMICs. It shows that community-based mental health reform needs professionals, empowered communities, and capable local leaders. This paper emphasizes the applicability of Slovenian insights in LMICs, using the Philippines as an example. It highlights the roles of barangay officials and BHWs in implementing CBMH, as they can bridge policy and practice, clinic and community, and stigma and understanding. Their effectiveness depends on clear mandates, ongoing funding, and culturally sensitive training that respects local beliefs and evidence-based care. Overall, the future of community mental health in the Philippines and other LMICs could involve transforming community resources, such as barangays, into recovery centers in which mental well-being is integrated into governance, culture, and community life.
