Rumination-focused cognitive behavioral therapy decreases anxiety and increases behavioral activation among remitted adolescents.
Article in Journal of child and family studies, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
objectivesRumination involves a repetitive, passive focus on one's thoughts and feelings and has been hypothesized as a mechanism contributing to multiple psychopathologies. The current investigation explores secondary outcomes from a pilot study to examine whether rumination-focused cognitive behavior therapy (RFCBT) alleviates symptoms of anxiety, increases behavioral activation, or increases global functioning among adolescents with a history of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD).
methodsThirty-three adolescents were randomized to receive either RFCBT (n = 17) or assessment only (AO; n = 16) over the course of eight weeks. Mixed effects regression models were used to conduct intent-to-treat (ITT) analyses.
resultsThe quadratic interaction for group-by-time-by-time was significant for anxiety. Adolescents in the RFCBT group experienced a significant decrease in anxiety across the first six weeks of intervention (F = 7.01, df = 108.49,
conclusionsPreliminary evidence suggests that RFCBT may hold promise as an intervention that alleviates both depressive and anxiety symptoms when comorbid.
