Initial testing of a computer-based simulation training module to support clinicians' acquisition of CBT skills for substance use disorder treatment.

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
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is one of the most common and effective treatments for substance use disorders (SUD); however, effective delivery of CBT depends on a wide variety of nuanced skills that require practice to master. We created a computer-based simulation training system to support the development of necessary skills for student trainees to be able to apply CBT effectively for clients with SUDs. CBT: Introducing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is an interactive, role-play simulation that provides opportunities for clinician trainees to hone their skills through repeated practice and real-time feedback before application in a clinical setting. This is the first study that tests whether such a simulation improves trainee skills for the treatment of clients with SUDs. Graduate students (N = 65; social work, clinical psychology) completed standardized patient (SP) interviews, were randomized to the simulation training program or manual comparison condition (Project MATCH manual), and completed SP interviews three months post-baseline. Using general linear models, results indicated a significant time x group effect, with students assigned to the simulation training program showing greater improvement in "extensiveness" and "skillfulness" ratings across three skill categories: general agenda setting (p = .03), explaining CBT concepts (p = .007), and understanding of CBT concepts (p = .001). However, manual comparison participants showed greater improvement than simulation trainees in "assessing primary drug use" (p
