Absent Bodies: Psychotherapeutic Challenges during COVID-19.
Article in Psychopathology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
introductionThe paper's main aim is to analyze the theme of psychotherapy which, during the months of lockdown, has undergone a considerable transformation as it moved, in many cases, to the virtual modality. The scarce literature on this subject is divided between those who maintain that the screen establishes a relational distance between the patient and the therapist (disengagement theory) and those who instead consider it an element that stimulates and facilitates communication (stimulation theory).
methodUtilizing a qualitative and phenomenological interview, which allowed me to collect the testimonies of therapists and patients, I will try to understand if and how the fundamental components of psychotherapy and clinical encounter have changed.
resultsI will describe how the lack of bodily resonance affects psychotherapy and emphasize the centrality of often-underestimated elements such as the atmosphere and setting.
conclusionI will finally argue that what is missing is indeed an embodied trust which, in my view, is necessary for a successful therapeutic relationship.
