The influence of patient readiness on implementation of evidence-based PTSD treatments in Veterans Affairs residential programs.
Article in Psychological trauma : theory, research, practice and policy, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
objectiveMental health provider perceptions of patient readiness for trauma-focused evidence-based treatments (EBTs) for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) have been found to impact outpatient care in the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
methodOne hundred and 72 mental health directors and providers from 36 VA residential PTSD treatment programs completed qualitative interviews regarding implementation of two EBTs, Prolonged Exposure (PE), and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). Perceptions of patients' "readiness" for PE and CPT, including how to define and assess this construct and how it influences implementation of these EBTs, were discussed.
resultsPatient readiness was identified as having three components: psychological and psychiatric stability, general readiness to change, and specific skills to manage trauma-focused EBTs (e.g., distress tolerance, affect regulation skills). Providers indicated that some patients who are deemed not ready are either screened out prior to entry or helped to get ready prior to or during their residential stay. Providers expressed difficulties predicting who is actually ready and described what they saw as differences between readiness for PE as compared with CPT.
conclusionsThe concept of readiness for trauma-focused EBTs impacted admission and access to services in the programs. Future research directions, such as empirically measuring readiness and formally assessing veterans' perceptions of and willingness to participate in these EBTs, are considered.
