Comorbidity as a moderator of the differential efficacy of transdiagnostic behavior therapy and behavioral activation for affective disorders.
Trial report in Psychotherapy research : journal of the Society for Psychotherapy Research, 2022. 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
objectiveTransdiagnostic psychotherapies have been proposed as an effective means for addressing the needs of patients with multiple, comorbid disorders. Yet, it remains unknown whether transdiagnostic approaches empirically outperform disorder-specific psychotherapies for patients with comorbid disorders. Thus, this study tested whether comorbidity moderated the efficacy of transdiagnostic behavior therapy (TBT) and behavioral activation (BA) for patients with various affective disorders.
methodsData derived from a randomized controlled trial in which 93 treatment-seeking veterans received 12 sessions of TBT (
resultsMultilevel models revealed significant interactive effects on changes in symptoms and functioning, but not on the posttreatment levels of these outcomes; whereas patients with more comorbidity experienced greater reductions in distress and symptom interference in TBT compared to BA, those with one disorder had better outcomes in BA. Similarly, whereas patients with more comorbidity were less likely to prematurely discontinue TBT compared to BA, those with one disorder were less likely to prematurely discontinue BA.
conclusionsThe results lend empirical support to previously untested hypotheses for potential benefits of transdiagnostic psychotherapies.
