Quality of Life Measurement Tools in Interventions for Anxiety and Depressive Disorders: A Systematic Literature Review in Global Settings.
Review in Neuropsychiatric disease and treatment, 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
Anxiety and depression Disorders play a crucial role in the global disease burden and impose significant effects. Depression markedly impacts psychosocial functioning and quality of life. Nevertheless, the effectiveness of mental health interventions is generally assessed through symptom reduction, the use of QoL as a patient-centered outcome is still not standardized. This systematic review aims to identify QoL instruments used in anxiety and depression interventions and analyze variations in their application in various global contexts. A systematic literature review was conducted in accordance with PRISMA 2020 guidelines and prospectively registered in PROSPERO (CRD420251109799). Literature searches were performed in PubMed, Embase.com, Scopus, and APA PsycInfo. Following screening and eligibility assessment, 17 studies were included in the final review. Interventions included psychotherapy, mindfulness, and body-based therapy, digital interventions, pharmacotherapy, and combined approaches. The most frequently used QoL instruments were SF-36/SF-12, EQ-5D, and WHOQOL-BREF. In general, interventions showed that physical activity has a positive impact on QoL, particularly in the psychological and social domains. However, instrument heterogeneity, the dominance of self-reports, and cultural context limitations were major challenges. Standardization of culturally sensitive QoL measurements is needed to improve the validity and comparability of global findings.
