Systematic review exploring the quality of life of patients undergoing mental disorders treatment in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Review in Annals of general psychiatry, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundAccording to the World Health Organization, approximately one in eight people is diagnosed with mental disorders globally. Patient-reported outcomes and quality of life assessments are essential tools for evaluating patient outcomes. This study aimed to identify, characterize, and summarize the literature focusing on quality of life or patient-reported outcomes among patients with mental disorders in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia undergoing pharmacological treatment.
methodsThis systematic review was based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses 2020 item checklist applicable for Systematic reviews. Searches were run in the following databases: PubMed, MEDLINE via Ovid, MEDLINE via EBSCO, and ProQuest. Databases were searched from January 1, 2000, to July 31, 2025.
resultsTen articles that explored the quality of life of patients undergoing mental disorders treatment in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia since 2000 met the inclusion criteria. A total of 3,773 patients included, and fifteen different quality of life questionnaires and patient-reported outcome measures were used. One-third of the reviewed articles used the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS) and consistently reported low to moderate levels of adherence.
conclusionsThis study highlights the need for further research in the mental health field, with a focus on enhancing patients' quality of life and reporting outcomes.
