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
backgroundThe reform of the German psychotherapy directive in 2017 resulted in several changes for non-hospital-based psychotherapists. We examined whether patients received psychotherapy following their initial consultation more frequently after the reform than before.
methodsUsing records from psychotherapy practices in a retrospective cohort study, we investigated the frequency of a psychotherapy after the patients' initial consultation. We compared a time frame of three years before and after the reform. A potential association between reform and psychotherapy received was analysed via logistic regression.
resultsOur analysis comprised 1548 records from 9 psychotherapy practices, consisting of 755 records before and 793 records after the reform. Before the reform, 40% (n=303) of the patients who had an initial consultation went on to receive psychotherapy. After the reform, 46% (n=360) of initial consultations were followed by psychotherapy (including acute care). The logistic regression analysis showed a 36% increased probability of receiving psychotherapy after an initial consultation after the reform in comparison to before the reform (odds ratio 1.36 after vs. before reform, 95% confidence interval 1.09 - 1.68).
conclusionOur results indicate a higher chance of receiving psychotherapy after an initial consultation after the reform compared to before the reform. Our data do not contain information as to whether the absolute number of psychotherapy appointments in the practices increased after the reform.
