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

Purpose: The article aimed to present a case conceptualization in two stages of therapy for PD patients qualifying for a specific therapy modality and diagnosis, including the conceptualization and monitoring of the process and mechanism of changes under the influence of specific therapeutic interventions. The problem is significant as there is a high level of treatment dropout among patients with various personality disorders. Views: The article discusses the current state of knowledge and Kazdin's methodology of scientific research on the processes and mechanisms of change in patients under the influence of therapeutic interventions. Using the assumptions of this model, the author describes the six steps of a therapeutic procedure which aims at describing and monitoring the process and mechanism of therapeutic interventions, with a special emphasis on the significance of a mediator in the form of the therapeutic alliance. The therapeutic alliance is a significant mediator of changes leading to positive and/or negative therapy outcome and some of its components should be considered as moderators that may significantly modify the influence of the mediator on the strength of the links between a given therapy modality and its effectiveness. Conclusions: Kazdin's model and diagnostic principles seem very useful and promising in clinical practice. At our current stage of knowledge and research, the diagnosing and monitoring of the process and mechanism of change in patients, resulting from specific therapeutic interventions, constitutes a considerable challenge for psychotherapists and clinicians.
