The beginning of the end: A comparison of treatment completers and early dropouts in trainee-provided time-limited Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
Article in Counselling psychology quarterly, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
About one in five clients drops out of treatment prematurely. Premature termination has been found to correlate with patient, therapist, and treatment factors, as well as complex interpersonal processes, including ruptures in the therapeutic alliance. This study examines the therapeutic alliance using a qualitative approach to patient-, therapist-, and observer-based data. The sample includes five trainee therapists, each of whom worked with one patient who terminated after the first or second session, and one who completed a cognitive-behavioral therapy protocol. The session(s) preceding premature termination in the drop case and the corresponding session(s) in the completer case were examined. Rupture resolution process was prevalent in both groups, though confrontation ruptures seemed more prevalent with completers and withdrawal ruptures were more clinically impactful with dropouts. Therapist awareness of process and responsiveness or contribution to rupture were identified as potential factors contributing to patient retention.
