Treatment moderators and effectiveness of Engagement and Counseling for Latinos intervention on worry reduction in a low-income primary care sample.
Trial report in Journal of consulting and clinical psychology, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05587517 (A Clinical Trial of Interventions to Support Family Surrogates of Critically Ill Patients), which is not on this map. Cited by 10 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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.

Abstract
objectiveWe conducted a secondary analysis of randomized controlled trial data to determine if the Engagement and Counseling for Latinos (ECLA) intervention, a brief, evidence-based, and culturally adapted cognitive-behavioral intervention specifically designed for and effective at treating depression, also reduced co-occurring worry symptoms. We also explored whether delivery modality (telephone, face-to-face) and sociodemographic patient characteristics moderated treatment effectiveness.
methodBetween May 2011 and September 2012, low-income Latino primary care patients (N = 257) with depression from Boston and San Juan were randomized to usual care (n = 86), face-to-face ECLA (n = 84), or telephone ECLA (n = 87) and completed a psychosocial assessment at baseline and 4 months after randomization. We used intention-to-treat analyses with linear regression models with change in worry (4 months from randomization) as the primary outcome and treatment condition as the primary predictor.
resultsPatients in ECLA experienced significant reductions in worry at 4 months from randomization than those in usual care (PSWQΔ = -3.28, p < .05). Among patients receiving ECLA, those in the telephone condition exhibited greater worry reductions than those in the face-to-face condition (telephone: M = -7.83, SD = 11.45; face-to-face: M = -6.73, SD = 12.23; p < .05). Employment status was the only significant treatment moderator. Unemployed patients did not exhibit any changes in worry irrespective of condition, whereas employed patients exhibited the greatest worry reductions across conditions.
conclusionsAlthough worry was not a treatment target in ECLA, it also reduced worry among low-income Latinos, which suggests ECLA may have transdiagnostic clinical implications. Telephone-delivered ECLA might hold promise for increasing the uptake of mental health care among employed low-income Latinos. (PsycINFO Database Record
