Effectiveness of Digital interventions on Mental Health and Psychological Well-being of College and University students.
Review in Pakistan journal of medical sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objective: The main objective of this study was to determine the overall effectiveness of various digital therapies in treating symptoms of depression, anxiety and general psychological well-being. Methodology: A systematic literature search of various Databases including PubMed, PsycINFO, Google Scholar, Web of Science & Cochrane library was carried out between the years 2006 to 2024. The data collected was reported following the PRISMA guidelines. The study examines the potential of digital platforms to address mental health issues. Compiling data from 20 carefully selected studies involving 30639 participants, the research compares outcomes for depression, anxiety and overall psychological well-being. Results: The results reveal significant effect sizes (Hedges' g: 0.80-0.88), demonstrating the positive impact of digital interventions. These tools not only provide therapeutic and preventive benefits but also improve accessibility. Notably, the overall psychological well-being effect size of 0.88 emphasizes their role in promoting mental health. While the findings support a shift toward digital solutions in student support systems, they also highlight the need for continued investment in refining and integrating these platforms. This analysis advocates for rethinking mental health support in higher education, bridging gaps with innovative digital approaches. Conclusion: Digital interventions effectively improve students' mental health by reducing stress, anxiety and depression while enhancing well-being. Their success depends on engagement, design and individual differences. Further research is needed to optimize long-term effectiveness.
