Reducing mental health stigma in the workplace: a mixed-method analysis of a quasi-experimental trial and the contextual role of personal values.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 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
Background: Workplace mental illness stigma is associated with negative consequences for individual, social, and structural (e.g., employment) aspects. Thus, multilevel interventions such as the Canadian program Aim: In this first international adaptation of TWM, we culturally adapted and evaluated TWM in the context of a German university regarding stigma, mental health literacy and resilience, while examining the role of values. Methods: The study followed a quasi-experimental, sequential explanative mixed-methods research design (QUAN → qual) with assessments before, after the intervention and at 6-month follow-up. The sample consisted of managers and employees (intervention group: Results: The intervention group showed significantly higher mental health literacy post-intervention compared to the control group after adjusting for baseline values, with a large effect size. Other effects were mainly small- to medium-sized but non-significant. Personal values of self-transcendence did not moderate the effect on mental illness stigma. Qualitative results showed an improvement on resilience for managers and employees and replicate the increase in mental health literacy. Discussion: Overall, we observed positive effects and trends of TWM regarding stigma, mental health literacy, and resilience. Possibly due to power limitations, baseline-adjusted group differences in stigma and resilience did not reach statistical significance. Value-based measures may explain inter-individual differences. Replication studies are needed to examine the observed effects in larger samples.
