Improving social reward responsivity and social connectedness in psychotherapies for late-life depression: Engage & Connect as an example.
Article in Psychiatry research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Psychotherapies are effective in reducing late-life depression. Yet, about half of patients remain depressed at treatment end. Advances in neuroscience can inform simplified interventions that target key brain networks impacted by depression. Behavioral activation therapies that increase social connectedness may improve social reward responsivity and alter abnormalities of the Positive Valence System (PVS). Engage & Connect is an example for a scalable and simple neuroscience-informed psychotherapy, aimed to improve PVS functions and social reward responsivity by increasing engagement in rewarding social activities. Interventions that improve social reward responsivity can be promising first-line treatments for late-life depression in the community.
