1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveAlthough social anxiety disorder is a persistent and debilitating condition, only a minority of people with social anxiety disorder seek help and little is known about methods for promoting help seeking for social anxiety disorder. This pilot trial explored the potential effectiveness of an online program designed to increase help-seeking intentions for social anxiety disorder.

methodsAustralian adults with symptoms of untreated social anxiety disorder were recruited online and randomised to either the Shyness Information Online intervention (

resultsAlthough they did not demonstrate a significantly greater increase in help-seeking intentions relative to the control group (

conclusionsFurther investigation of the intervention is warranted to test its effectiveness, explore the relationships between factors that influence social anxiety disorder help-seeking behaviour and to further test the validity of the social anxiety disorder help-seeking model on which the intervention was based.
