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

Person-centered care has been gaining prominence in behavioral health care, and service planning has shifted towards "person-centered care planning" (PCCP), where individuals, in partnership with providers, identify life goals and interventions. A strong therapeutic alliance has been identified as key to a person-centered approach, but little is known about how the therapeutic relationship influences person-centered processes and outcomes. Using an explanatory sequential mixed methods design, this study investigated: (1) the association between the therapeutic alliance and PCCP, and (2) how the therapeutic relationship influences the process and outcomes of PCCP. Quantitative analyses found that a strong working alliance predicted greater personcenteredness. Qualitative analyses revealed two central themes: (1) the importance of connection, continuity, and calibration of the relationship to set the right conditions for PCCP, and (2) PCCP as a vehicle for engagement. Findings demonstrated that the therapeutic alliance is inextricably linked to the PCCP process, each influencing the other.
