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

objectiveRather than relying on a single psychotherapeutic orientation, most clinicians draw from a range of therapeutic approaches to treat their clients. To date, no data-driven approach exists for personalized predictions of which skill domain would be most therapeutically beneficial for a given patient. The present study combined ecological momentary assessment (EMA) and machine learning to test a data-driven approach for predicting patient-specific skill-outcome associations.

methodFifty (

resultsCross-validated accuracy was 81% (sensitivity = 93% and specificity = 63%) in predicting whether a patient would exhibit a stronger association between the use of BT versus DBT skills and PA level. Predictors of positive DBT skills-PA associations included higher levels of nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) and sleep disturbance, whereas predictors of positive BT skills-PA relations included higher emotional lability and anxiety disorder comorbidity, and lower psychomotor retardation/agitation and worthlessness/guilt. Corresponding models with NA yielded no predictors.

conclusionsFindings from this initial proof-of-concept study highlight the potential of data-driven approaches to inform personalized prescriptions of which skill domains may be most therapeutically beneficial for a given patient. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved).
