Systematic Review of the Clinical Application of Exposure Techniques to Community-Dwelling Older Adults with Anxiety.
Synthesis in Clinical gerontologist. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06770517 (Defeating Fear With Exposure Therapy Delivered by Mental Health Nurses in Primary Care for Anxiety Disorders in Older Adults - a Cluster-randomised Controlled Trial), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
objectivesAlthough exposure techniques are a first-line intervention for anxiety, clear evidence is lacking for their efficacy in treating the prevalent and debilitating condition of late life anxiety. This study sought to review the current literature on use of exposure with community-dwelling older patients.
methodsSearches of electronic databases were conducted to identify articles published through December 7, 2016. Inclusion criteria were: 1) sample age > 55, 2) therapy that included exposure, 3) anxiety as a target of the treatment. Exclusion criteria were: 1) not available in English, 2) no quantitative data, 3) inpatient setting. Methodological data and findings were extracted from the articles chosen for review.
resultsThe 54 eligible articles presented a total of 16 case studies, 9 uncontrolled trials, 24 controlled trials, and 6 secondary studies. A majority of the studies were conducted in the U.S.A with participants who received individual treatment. In vivo and imaginal exposure were the most frequently delivered techniques, and most treatments were multicomponent. Most studies found a reduction in anxiety symptoms.
conclusionsImportant research gaps need to be addressed. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: The surveyed research provides a modest foundation of evidence for mental health practitioners who wish to incorporate exposure into treatment plans.
