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

To draw clinically meaningful evidence-supported implications about the alliance-outcome association, recent studies have investigated patient-therapist congruence on ruptures in alliance. The present study investigated patient-therapist congruence on ruptures and its consequences on subsequent session outcome in 2 types of treatments that differ in the training therapists receive to identify ruptures: brief relational therapy (BRT), in which therapists receive alliance-focused training, and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), in which no training specifically focused on the alliance is provided. We implemented polynomial regression and response surface analysis, and the truth and bias model on data of 162 dyads reporting weekly on their levels of ruptures, for 30 sessions, during either CBT or BRT. Therapists and patients exhibited substantial temporal congruence in their session-by-session rupture ratings. Therapists showed a tendency to detect more ruptures than did their patients. This tendency correlated with higher levels of congruence and was more evident in BRT than in CBT. Agreement and disagreement between patients and therapists on the question of whether a rupture had occurred was found to have a greater effect on subsequent session outcomes in BRT than in CBT. These findings may suggest that therapists who are more attuned to their patients may demonstrate greater vigilance in identifying ruptures than their patients do. This vigilant stance may be taught. Greater congruence may result in better subsequent session outcome throughout treatment in BRT than in CBT. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved).
