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

purposeThis study aimed to assess how accessible, acceptable, and effective psychodynamic psychotherapy (PP) is perceived to be by service users.

methodInterviews were conducted with 10 participants, who had finished, or were attending, PP. Transcripts were analyzed using thematic analysis.

resultsMost participants understood how they had accessed PP. However, a minority were unsure. Some found traveling to sessions anxiety-provoking and appreciated a friendly greeting upon arrival. Participants highlighted feeling listened to. However, many participants were unhappy about therapy ending and struggled to share what they had learned. Some were surprised by the content of sessions. Finally, most participants highlighted problems that had improved because of therapy. IMPLICATIONS: Clinicians should ensure that service users understand the nature of PP before starting sessions and identify clear goals. Support traveling to sessions may improve attendance, Finally, the importance of planning the ending of therapy was highlighted. ORIGINALITY VALUE: The paper captures the views of those with ID on the accessibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of PP.
