Computer-Assisted CBT and Mobile Apps for Depression: Assessment and Integration Into Clinical Care.
Article in Focus (American Psychiatric Publishing), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
A surge in the development of computer-assisted cognitive-behavioral therapy (CCBT) and mobile apps for depression has provided many tools with potential for enhancing treatment delivery. This article assesses progress in evaluation and implementation of CCBT and mobile apps for depression, with a focus on providing practical information on clinical applications. Advantage and disadvantages of these technologies are identified, outcome research is reviewed, and recommendations are made for clinical use. With increasing use of computer technology in everyday life, it is likely that clinicians and patients will pursue opportunities to employ computer tools in treatment for depression.
