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
backgroundAccurate and up-to-date epidemiological data on the prevalence and treatment of common mental disorders are essential for evidence-based healthcare policy and resource allocation. However, large-scale, representative epidemiological surveys on common mental disorders in China-particularly those incorporating insomnia disorder and applying the latest diagnostic criteria alongside validated assessment tools-remain notably lacking.
methodsWe conducted a population-based, cross-sectional epidemiological survey to assess the prevalence and treatment of common mental disorders among adults in Beijing, China, using a multistage clustered probability sampling design (
resultsAmong all lifetime mental disorders assessed, depressive disorders constituted the most prevalent diagnostic category (7.7%), with major depressive disorder representing the most common specific diagnosis (5.4%). Individuals aged 65 years and older exhibited significantly higher 1-month prevalence of both depressive disorders and insomnia disorder compared with younger age groups. Alcohol-related disorder was more prevalent in men than in women, and in urban residents than in rural residents. Help-seeking patterns revealed a predominant reliance on informal support over professional services among individuals with lifetime mental disorders. Only 13.4% sought help from mental health professionals, and 12.7% received mental health professional treatment.
conclusionsThe improved access to treatment did not translate into a reduction in population-level mental disorder prevalence, which may be attributable to the low rate of professional mental health treatment. Governments must optimize mental healthcare access.
