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

backgroundTransdiagnostic online interventions have the potential to overcome help seeking barriers, address symptom comorbidity, and increase accessibility to evidence-based treatments. However, there is currently a lack of high quality studies examining brief transdiagnostic interventions, as well as research examining optimal methods for screening and providing members of the community with access to these interventions. This randomised controlled trial will compare a brief, video-based transdiagnostic online intervention (

aimsThe aims of the study are to (1) examine the efficacy of

methodsA two-arm randomised controlled trial will be conducted with adults residing in the Australian Capital Territory, Australia. Participants will be recruited online via social media advertisements, screened, and randomised to receive one of two four-week programs:

resultsFindings from the trial will provide important knowledge regarding the utility and optimal implementation of brief transdiagnostic interventions for depression and anxiety in the community.

conclusionsThis trial has strong potential to increase access to evidence-based treatments in the community by directly addressing several factors that impede this access, such as symptom comorbidity and a lack of knowledge regarding optimal implementation pathways.

trial registrationThis trial is registered with the Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry (number ACTRN12618001688279).
