General practitioners' experiences using cognitive behavioural therapy in general practice: a qualitative study.
Article in Scandinavian journal of primary health care, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
objectiveTo explore GPs' experiences using cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), with a focus on factors that promote or limit the use of CBT in general practice.
designQualitative study using data from written evaluation reports and focus-group interviews. Setting. Norwegian general practice. SUBJECTS: GPs who participated in a longitudinal CBT course in the continuous medical education (CME) programme for GPs in Norway, of whom 19 filled in evaluation forms and 15 participated in focus-group interviews.
main outcome measuresExperiences with the use of CBT in general practice.
resultsGPs used CBT mainly in the treatment of patients with anxiety disorders and depression. Factors that promoted the use of CBT in general practice were structured supervision and group counselling, receiving feedback on individual video-recorded consultations, and experiencing that one mastered the therapeutic techniques. Limiting factors were that it took some time before one mastered the techniques, lack of eligible patients, constraints related to attending group supervision during office hours, and the lack of financial incentives to use CBT in general practice.
conclusionTailored training programmes in CBT for GPs may contribute to more frequent use of CBT in general practice. A formal recognition of CBT in the reimbursement scheme for GPs might counter limiting factors to an increased use of CBT in general practice.
