Game Changers in the Treatment of and Engagement With Persons Living With Mental Health and Substance Use Disorders: The Role of the Nurse.
Review in International journal of mental health nursing, 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 game changers in mental health and substance use disorder treatment have been shaped by historical sea changes marked by transformative advancements that have significantly enhanced patient care. Breakthroughs in psychotherapy, psychosurgery and psychopharmacology have each contributed to reshaping clinical practices, especially the revolutionary discovery of psychotropics. More recently, the rapid development of artificial intelligence has begun to address long-standing barriers in access to care for individuals experiencing mental health and substance use disorders. Transitioning from past eras characterised by institutionalisation and inhumane treatment, the field of mental health and substance use has embraced a more holistic, patient-centred and community-based approach. Landmark legislation and progressive policy frameworks have played a vital role in safeguarding the rights and dignity of individuals living with mental health and substance use disorders. Patient engagement, the cornerstone of effective treatment, continues to evolve alongside the expansion of therapeutic options, from patients having no autonomy over decisions to encouraging clients to make informed decisions about their care. Within this dynamic landscape, nurses serve as essential gatekeepers of the healthcare system, providing critical functions such as clinical assessment, medication administration, patient education, counselling and ongoing monitoring to mitigate adverse treatment outcomes and support recovery, while establishing a therapeutic relationship in all aspects of care. This historical discussion paper explores and summarises the key game changer events by highlighting the treatment and engagement of persons living with mental health and substance abuse disorders of the past in timeline periods. Predictions for the future are also projected to encourage reflections of the past and thought-provoking acumens for the future.
