Trial report in Spinal cord, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

STUDY

designObservational pre-post study.

objectiveGuided internet-delivered CBT (ICBT) offers an alternative approach for mental health service delivery in the community for those with spinal cord injury (SCI). The feasibility and acceptability of guided ICBT programme is available for various chronic health conditions; however, the evidence related to SCI is limited. The primary aim of the current study was to examine feasibility and acceptability of a guided transdiagnostic ICBT programme for persons with SCI.

settingCommunity.

methodsIn this single-group pre-post study, persons with SCI (n = 20) living in the community were provided with a guided 8-week transdiagnostic ICBT programme for overall well-being. Study feasibility was examined by the following outcomes: patient recruitment, engagement, and attrition. Acceptability of the programme was evaluated post-treatment. Reductions in symptoms of depression and anxiety were assessed at baseline, post-intervention, and at 3-month follow-up.

resultsApproximately 60% of eligible participants were recruited. The study found high rates of programme completion (90%) and outcome data were obtained from 90% of participants. Improvement in symptoms of depression (and anxiety) were seen after treatment. Gains were maintained at 3-month follow-up.

conclusionsGuided transdiagnostic ICBT programme is a feasible and acceptable treatment option for those with psychological needs following SCI.
