Characterizing measurement-based care implementation using therapist report.
Article in Evidence-based practice in child and adolescent mental health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
The effectiveness of measurement-based care (MBC), an evidence-based practice that uses regularly collected assessment data to guide clinical decision-making, is impacted by whether and how therapists use information from MBC tools in treatment. Improved characterization of how therapists use MBC in treatment sessions with youth is needed to guide implementation and understand variability in MBC effectiveness. To meet this need, this study examined therapists' sharing and discussion of MBC in treatment sessions. Thirty therapists were randomly assigned to the MBC condition as part of a comparative effectiveness trail of treatments for adolescent anxiety and depression. A qualitative content analysis was conducted on therapists' written explanations of changes made to the session based on the MBC data. Therapists reported sharing data with youth and caregivers in an average of 34.6% and 27.4% of sessions, respectively. Therapists reported incorporating MBC data in an average of 21.1% of sessions. When data were used, therapists predominately focused changes on short-term (e.g., current symptoms, treatment skill) rather than long-term (e.g., symptom progress, treatment goals) decision-making. Therapists inconsistently used MBC data, highlighting the need for improved training in and monitoring of how therapists use MBC in session to guide collaborative treatment decision-making with youth and caregivers.
