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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveThe implementation of evidence-based practices (EBPs) in community mental health settings for youths has consistently yielded weakened effects compared with controlled trials. There is a need to feasibly measure the quality of large-scale implementation efforts to inform improvement targets. This study used therapist-reported caregiver attendance in treatment sessions as a quality indicator in the community implementation of EBPs.
methodsData were collected from therapists practicing in agencies contracted to provide publicly funded children's mental health services following a system-driven implementation of multiple EBPs. Community therapists (N=101) provided information about youth clients (N=267) and psychotherapy sessions (N=685). Multivariable binomial logistic regressions were conducted to examine associations between caregiver attendance and therapist factors (e.g., licensure status, education), youth factors (e.g., gender, age), and the type of EBP delivered.
resultsCaregiver attendance occurred in 42% of sessions. The following factors were associated with increased odds of caregiver attendance: younger client age, male sex of client, externalizing presenting problem, and delivery of an EBP that prescribes caregiver attendance at all sessions. Caregiver attendance at sessions targeting trauma or externalizing disorders appeared to explain the differences between boys and girls in levels of caregiver engagement.
conclusionsOverall, the patterns of actual caregiver attendance appeared consistent with empirically informed practice parameters for involvement of caregivers in treatment. Still, the rates of caregiver attendance in externalizing-focused sessions were suboptimal, and the gender difference in these rates-which clearly disfavored girls-suggests targeted areas for quality improvement. Potential reasons for these quality gaps are discussed.
