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

Common mental disorders are a major public health concern, particularly in low-resource settings where specialist services are limited. While task-shifting to non-specialist providers (NSPs) has improved access, maintaining their competency during scale-up remains a challenge. This study evaluated a technology-assisted platform (TAP) for training and supervision of NSPs delivering the WHO Thinking Healthy Programme (THP) for perinatal depression. The android-based hybrid platform integrates avatar-led instruction, digital modules, video demonstrations and structured supervision. Qualitative data were collected from three focus group discussions with peers (
