How do adolescents with depression experience improvement in psychodynamic psychotherapy? A qualitative study.
Trial report in BMC psychiatry, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT01531101 (First Experimental Study of Transference Work - In Teenagers), which is not on this map. Cited by 19 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
backgroundThere is emerging evidence for the effectiveness of psychodynamic psychotherapy for depressive disorders. However, we know less of how this relation-focused therapy mode is experienced and what the patients themselves identify as helpful. Hence, the purpose of this study is to explore adolescents' experiences of factors promoting improvement in psychodynamic therapy.
methodsEight female patients participating in a Norwegian study on psychodynamic therapy, the First Experimental Study of Transference Work - In Teenagers (FEST-IT), were included. The participants were offered a total number of 28 sessions. Semi-structured qualitative interviews about experiences with therapy were then conducted and analysed with systematic text condensation and hermeneutic interpretation.
resultsThe analysis revealed four main themes. 'Exploring oneself' comprises autonomy and acknowledgment, openness, insight and acceptance of oneself. 'Therapist relation and characteristics' includes confidence and trust in and support from the therapist as well as having a trustworthy and experienced therapist. 'Focusing on everyday life' includes learning and practical orientation. 'Time factors' refers to duration and frequency.
conclusionsTogether with a supportive and listening therapist, the adolescents improve by exploring themselves within the frames of a time-limited treatment period. Improvement seems to be experienced through better relations to oneself and to others and by finding one's place in the family, or at school. Adolescents value problem solving and help with concrete challenges. Hence, therapy should be tailored to the needs of adolescents with depression and incorporate the challenges they face in their everyday life.
