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
In 2020, prescription-based digital interventions were introduced in Germany. These digital courses have to meet safety and data privacy requirements and must prove positive effects on symptoms and/or other outcome parameters. Interventions are available for a range of mental disorders. For patients with panic disorder and agoraphobia, several applications based on cognitive behavioral therapy have been developed. Within these digital courses, patients can typically access psychoeducational content and practice psychotherapeutic strategies such as exposure therapy. Recent meta-analyses prove the effectiveness of such interventions when compared with waitlist control conditions. According to current German guidelines, digital courses can be used to prepare psychotherapy and as an accompanying tool during psychotherapy. In Germany, physicians and psychotherapist can prescribe digital interventions for outpatients and as a post-hospital treatment..
