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

Telepsychiatry has rapidly expanded as a response to the growing mental health needs of college students. This cross-sectional evaluation surveyed 376 students across three universities regarding usage, satisfaction and effectiveness of telepsychiatry. Results showed significant reductions in depression and anxiety symptoms, high satisfaction and reduced missed appointments, particularly with video-based consultations. Privacy, connectivity and rapport were key barriers. Thus, we show that telepsychiatry is an effective and acceptable alternative to in-person care, though implementation should address engagement and privacy concerns.
