Honouring complexity and social justice in mental health: The socio-political economy of global mental health framework.
Article in PLOS mental health, 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
Despite advances in acknowledging the importance of community, relational and family systems, and social adversities for mental health, responses in research and policy are limited. This calls us to explore methods to reconceptualize social dynamics as they relate to mental health outcomes. In this paper, we map out the potential of one framework, which directs attention to the domains associated with the social determination of poor mental health, the socio-political economy of global mental health. In this essay, we outline the need for such a framework, the theoretical underpinnings that inform it, as well as the potential social domains for inclusion. We conclude by outlining the potential implications of such a framework in shaping new practice in global mental health that is oriented towards a broader social justice lens - beyond emphasis on redistributive approaches, and towards collective and collaborative action to change the conditions that make poor mental health a reality for many - as part and parcel of our care systems.
