Video-Based Psychotherapy for Children and Adolescents: Patient Perspectives on Research Needs and Priorities.
Article in Child psychiatry and human development, 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
Telehealth plays an increasingly important role in mental healthcare, but empirical evidence regarding real-time, interactive psychotherapy for children and adolescents delivered via videoconferencing is limited. It has been suggested that research becomes more relevant, acceptable, and appropriate for service users when their research priorities are considered and that future studies should involve patients and their representatives in the planning and conduct of a trial. This study therefore aimed to identify patients' research needs and priorities regarding video-based psychotherapy. Youths with experience in outpatient psychotherapy (n = 33) and their parents (n = 34) participated in the survey. Research questions relating to treatment effectiveness, the quality of the therapeutic relationship, side effects, and safety / privacy issues received high importance ratings, suggesting that these topics reflect patients' and parents' research needs. Parents prioritized research on the quality of the therapeutic relationship. Youths did not prioritize any of the proposed questions. However, patterns of research needs differed depending on youths' personal experience with video-based psychotherapy. Several respondents used an open-ended comment box to indicate further research needs. This study adds valuable information on patient-reported research needs and priorities to the emerging field of digital technologies in mental healthcare. Future studies should not only investigate the course of patients' symptoms and impairments during video-based psychotherapy, but also the therapeutic alliance, the frequency and impact of side effects, ways of delivering videoconference-delivered sessions in an engaging and effective way, safety/privacy issues, patient preferences, and whether video-based treatment improves youths' access to healthcare.
