1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectivePatient memory for treatment is emerging as an important transdiagnostic mechanism of treatment outcomes. However, patient memory for treatment is limited. The Memory Support Intervention was developed to improve patient memory for treatment and thereby strengthen treatment outcomes. In this secondary analysis, the primary, preregistered aim was to test the 12-month follow-up outcomes of the Memory Support Intervention when used with cognitive therapy (CT + MS) for major depressive disorder, relative to CT-as-usual. The secondary, exploratory aim was to investigate opportunities to improve efficacy of the Memory Support Intervention.

methodAdults (N = 178) with major depressive disorder were randomized to CT-as-usual or CT + MS. Therapist use of memory support and patient memory for treatment, depression symptoms, and overall functioning were measured in blind assessments.

resultsFindings did not support differences between treatment conditions at 12-month follow-up. Therapists used memory support strategies with a narrow subset of treatment contents, and similarly, patients recalled a narrow subset of treatment contents.

conclusionsThe findings highlight ways to strengthen the efficacy of the Memory Support Intervention, such as applying memory support strategies across a wider variety of treatment contents, which in turn, may boost patient recall and outcomes.
