Sexual identity and race/ethnicity as predictors of treatment outcome and retention in dialectical behavior therapy.
Article in Journal of consulting and clinical psychology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveThere is inconclusive evidence regarding sexual identity and race/ethnicity differences in outcomes in evidence-based psychological treatments. Although dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is well-studied, little is known about the extent to which its efficacy generalizes to sexual minority and racial/ethnic minority people. This study examined sexual identity, race/ethnicity, and their interaction as predictors of treatment outcome and retention in DBT.
methodData were from five clinical trials conducted in research and community settings with a variety of adult populations (
resultsSexual identity, race/ethnicity, and their interaction did not predict the average severity or the rate of change in any clinical outcome over time. Sexual minority identity was associated with decreased risk of treatment dropout (
conclusionsFindings suggest no significant differences in DBT treatment outcomes when comparing between sexual minority and heterosexual individuals and between non-Hispanic White and racial/ethnic minority individuals. Sexual minority identity interacted with race/ethnicity to predict dropout, such that non-Hispanic sexual minority people were more likely to complete DBT compared to sexual minority people of color and heterosexual individuals. Further research is needed to clarify potential subgroup and intersectional differences. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved).
