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.

main outcome measuresImpact of the CBT training course on FPs' delivery of CBT to patients and their use of referral to specialized mental health care providers.

resultsOf the 217 FPs who had participated in the training course between 2009 and 2016, 124 completed the survey (response rate=57.1%); 99.2% of participating FPs reported using CBT tools daily in patient consultations, more than three-quarters reported changing the way they organized their workdays to accommodate CBT, and 75.0% reported using structured CBT consultations at least monthly after completing the course. The most common patient groups receiving structured CBT were those experiencing mild or moderate depression (22.8%), anxiety disorders (30.4%), or a combination of an anxiety disorder and depression (43.5%). The odds of making fewer referrals to specialized mental health care providers were 5.4 times higher among FPs who used Socratic questioning (

conclusionComprehensive training in CBT promotes the use of CBT tools and strategies in family practice. Further longitudinal research (ideally randomized controlled studies) on patient outcomes related to CBT provided in family practices is required.
