Could the use of web-based applications assist in neuropsychiatric treatment? An umbrella review.
Synthesis in BMC psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07391943 (Efficacy of a Self-Guided Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Protocol Via Mobile Application in Patients With Treatment-Resistant Panic Disorder), which is not on this map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.

Abstract
backgroundThe aim of this study was to evaluate the use of applications accessed through internet browsers as tools for neuropsychiatric treatment, as well as to verify the benefits and efficacy of virtual support as a therapeutic approach.
methodsA broad review of the MEDLINE (PubMed), SciELE and Cochrane databases for review articles was conducted. Articles involving the use of browser-based applications as a support for neurological and psychiatric treatment, with available texts on the selected platforms with no language or year restrictions, were included.
resultsA total of 83 reviews were included in this study. Due to the homogeneity of the information between some articles, the research was grouped according to the following revised themes: mindfulness, tinnitus, electronic health (eHealth), youth and students' mental health, mobile health applications (mHealth), depression, anxiety and stress, psychoactive substances, sleep quality, chronic diseases and mental disorders.
conclusionThe findings suggest that the use of virtual support through applications helps neuropsychiatric treatment, improving the well-being and quality of life of these patients.
