In one paragraph

Review in Cognitive behaviour therapist, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05698251 (Piloting an Intervention Using Single Case Design to Reduce Uncertainty Distress in Those With Long Term Health Conditions), which is not on this map. Cited by 95 papers.

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.

Abstract

The paper forms part of a series of papers outlining the theoretical framework for a new model of uncertainty distress (this paper), treatment implications arising from the model, and empirical tests of the model. We define uncertainty distress as KEY LEARNING

aims(1)To define the concept of uncertainty distress.(2)To understand the role of threat, over-estimation of threat, perceived uncertainty, actual uncertainty, and intolerance of uncertainty in distress maintenance.(3)To understand how people may behave in response to uncertainty distress.(4)To describe a model of uncertainty distress.
