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

introductionCountries with legalized gambling offer a network of government funded face-to-face therapy, but usage of this expertise is on the decline. One way to address this issue is to recruit therapists from existing services whereby they provide guidance for the delivery of internet delivered CBT.

objectiveTo explore the experiences and perceptions of therapists supporting guided online cognitive-behavioural therapy.

methodsInterviewees were a sub-sample of therapists from a randomised trial that investigated the relative efficacy of online guided self-directed versus pure self-directed interventions in Australia.

resultsIn-person, semi-structured interviews with seven service providers were completed, and thematic content analysis identified five themes which related to: participant suitability and screening (e.g., motivation, computer literacy and access); program content and modality acceptability (e.g., amount of content, look and feel); participant information and management (e.g., program engagement and progression); email communication (e.g., use of templates, appointments, rapport building), and; ongoing service integration (e.g., infrastructure, confidence in product). Overall experiences and perceptions of therapists were positive, notwithstanding barriers concerning assessment of participant suitability, participant management systems and low participant engagement.

conclusionsKey themes emphasized the benefits of Internet-based interventions for problem gambling, and suggested several areas for improvement. Results should inform the development of future treatments to enable flexible tailoring of interventions to individuals.
