Development and evaluation of an internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy intervention for anxiety and depression in adults with cystic fibrosis (eHealth CF-CBT): An international collaboration.
Article in Internet interventions, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
introductionIndividuals with cystic fibrosis (CF) are at increased risk for anxiety and depression, with negative consequences for adherence, health, and quality of life. New approaches to prevent and treat anxiety and depression that are tailored to the concerns of this population are needed. A CF-specific internet-based cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) intervention was developed to increase access to evidence-based mental health care and decrease cost and burden of care for people with CF.
objectiveTo evaluate the usability and acceptability of "eHealth CF-CBT," an internet-based program integrating therapist-guided online self-management modules with in-person or virtual sessions.
methodsDutch adults with CF (
resultsPatient and provider ratings of their overall impression of the eHealth CF-CBT program were high, with scores (mean; SD) of 8.3; 0.6 and 8.2; 0.8 respectively on a 10-point scale. Mean ratings of usability by patients (77.0/100) and providers (73.4/100) surpassed the SUS cut point for good favorability. Ratings (pooled mean; SD) on the assessed eHIQ domains Motivation and Confidence to Act (71.3; 10.0), Information and Presentation (78.9; 9.6), and Identification (62.0; 15.1) were positive, as were assessments of specific elements of session content and format.
conclusionseHealth CF-CBT is the first therapist-guided internet-delivered CBT-based intervention for adults with CF. Initial evaluation with key stakeholders demonstrated high levels of acceptability and usability and provided input that was integrated to strengthen the program. Effectiveness testing in the Netherlands will be the next step, as well as future international adaptation and dissemination.
