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.

Abstract

objectivesThis randomized controlled trial examined whether an 11-week synchronous (i.e., real-time) online training in lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and other sexual or gender diverse (LGBTQ)-affirmative cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) could lead to increased uptake of this practice at LGBTQ community centers across 20 U.S. states and internationally.

methodA total of 121 mental health providers (M

resultsCompared to wait-list, participants in the immediate training condition reported greater improvements in self-reported cultural competence (d = 1.24), minority stress knowledge (d = 0.78), LGBTQ-affirmative CBT knowledge (d = 0.78), and LGBTQ-affirmative CBT skills familiarity (d = 0.91) and use (d = 0.96); effects persisted 8 months postbaseline. Cultural humility showed no significant difference by condition (d = 0.07). In objectively coded assessments of simulated practice, participants in the training condition demonstrated greater uptake of LGBTQ-affirmative practice skills (d = 0.82).

conclusionsFindings preliminarily suggest that mental health providers can be trained to deliver LGBTQ-affirmative CBT using the low-cost, efficient reach of online training. This training can help disseminate evidence-based mental health care to LGBTQ individuals and support its implementation across practice settings.
