Dialectical behavior therapy for justice-involved veterans (DBT-J): Feasibility and acceptability.
Article in Psychological services, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Justice-involved veterans are a high-risk, high-need subgroup serviced by behavioral health services within the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) system. Justice-involved veterans often have complex mental health and substance use difficulties, a myriad of case management needs, and a range of criminogenic needs that are difficult to treat with traditional outpatient VHA services. The present study represents an initial evaluation of dialectical behavior therapy for justice-involved veterans (DBT-J), a novel psychotherapy program providing 16 weeks of skills-based group therapy and individualized case management services to veterans with current or recent involvement with the criminal justice system. A total of 13 veterans were successfully enrolled into this initial acceptability and feasibility trial. Results broadly suggested DBT-J to be characterized by high ease of implementation, successful recruitment efforts, strong participant attendance and retention, high treatment fidelity, and high acceptability by veteran participants, DBT-J providers, and adjunctive care providers alike. Although continued research using comparison conditions is necessary, veterans who completed participation in DBT-J tended to show reductions in criminogenic risk across the course of treatment. Cumulatively, these findings suggest DBT-J holds potential as a VHA-based intervention to address the various needs of justice-involved veterans.
