In Their Own Words: Veteran Experiences with Evidence-Based Treatments for PTSD in the Veterans Health Administration.

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
The aim of the present study was to increase the understanding of veteran experiences with receiving an evidence-based psychotherapy (EBPs) for PTSD (Cognitive Processing Therapy and Prolonged Exposure therapy) in the Veterans Affairs Healthcare System (VA). Eighteen veterans who participated in the study were being seen in the outpatient PTSD clinic at a New England VA and had elected to participate in an EBP. The study assessed veteran experiences with, and outcomes from, treatment through the use of both quantitative and qualitative assessment tools. A rigorous data analytic approach, Consensual Qualitative Research, was applied to narrative data. Results fell into seven domains: Previous EBP & Outcome, Barriers to Treatment, Treatment Process, Treatment Outcome, Treatment Drop Out, and Feelings about Treatment. Overall, veterans reported diverse reactions to the EBPs for PTSD and identified both positive and negative aspects of the treatments. They identified multiple barriers to treatment completion and provided insight into their thoughts and feelings during the treatment protocol. Veterans who chose to drop out of treatment prematurely identified the factors that contributed to this decision. In this way, the study offers an initial but important look at veteran perceptions of and experiences with EBPs for PTSD.
