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

backgroundTrauma-focused cognitive behavioural therapy (TF-CBT) is an efficacious treatment model for children and adolescents with trauma-related disorders. However, few studies have been conducted in community settings, and there have been no randomized controlled trials in Asian countries.

objectiveTo evaluate the effectiveness of TF-CBT in regular community settings in Japan through comparison with a waitlist with minimal services control condition.

methodThirty Japanese children and adolescents with posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms (22 females, eight males, mean age = 13.90, range = 6-18) were randomly assigned to 12 sessions of TF-CBT or the waitlist control condition. The primary outcome measure was the Kiddie Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia score assessed by blinded evaluators one month later.

resultsThe mean number of sessions was 12 (range: 11-13) in the TF-CBT group and 4.87 (range: 3-7) in the control group. Intention to treat analysis showed that the TF-CBT group achieved significantly greater symptom reduction than did the control group. The effect size (Cohen's

conclusionsThe findings provided preliminary evidence of the effectiveness of TF-CBT for treating youth with trauma in community mental health facilities. TF-CBT in the Japanese context proved identical to the original, demonstrating that it is also suitable for use with children and adolescents in non-Western settings.
