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.

Abstract
Recovery-oriented mental health practice represents a paradigm shift toward holistic, client-centered care prioritizing autonomy, hope, and social integration for individuals with serious mental illness. Mental health practitioners are instrumental in facilitating recovery; however, mechanisms through which practitioner orientations translate into recovery-promoting competencies remain underexamined. Individuals with serious mental illness face disparities arising from stigma and structural inequities. Cultural humility, characterized by ongoing self-reflection, power awareness, and commitment to equitable partnership, has emerged as a critical orientation to operationalize recovery values. Yet mechanisms linking cultural humility to recovery-promoting competencies remain unclear. This study examines whether recovery attitudes mediate the relationship between cultural humility and recovery-promoting competencies among mental health practitioners. Data were collected via anonymous survey from 188 mental health practitioners (June 2024-March 2025) employed in U.S. mental health organizations providing clinical services to adults with serious mental illness. Structural equation modeling tested a mediation model using three latent variables: cultural humility, recovery attitudes, and recovery-promoting competencies. Results showed cultural humility was significantly associated with recovery attitudes (β = 0.638, p < .001), which in turn was associated with recovery-promoting competencies (β = 0.654, p < .001). Recovery attitudes mediated 54.9% of the total effect of cultural humility on recovery-promoting competencies (indirect effect β = 0.417, 95% CI [0.310, 0.670], p < .001). This relationship remained robust after controlling for demographic and professional covariates. Findings provide empirical evidence that cultural humility operates through recovery attitudes to shape practitioner behavior, underscoring the importance of cultivating cultural humility within supervisory and organizational contexts.
