Problematic mental health-related advice: exploring the role and limitations of EU's digital toolbox on the case of #TherapyTok.
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
Social media platforms are increasingly becoming resources for mental health advice and validation. This might contribute to awareness-raising and promoting healthy behaviors, but it also raises concerns due to proliferation of misinformation and unproven claims. The brief assesses EU's frameworks that aim to ensure online environments are safe, including the DSA, the announced DFA, and other consumer protection regimes. Applying the public health prevention framework by Ishizumi et al., the brief argues for a public health-informed approach to counter the identified #TherapyTok concerns. For example, EU digital governance frameworks like the DSA should explicitly include public health evaluation criteria in enforcement. The brief offers further EU policy recommendations, proposing more decisive action might be needed especially in upstream prevention.
