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

Selective mutism (SM) is a relatively rare, but highly interfering, child anxiety disorder characterized by a consistent failure to speak in certain situations, despite demonstrating fluent speech in other contexts. Exposure-based cognitive behavioral therapy and Parent-Child Interaction Therapy adapted for SM can be effective, but the broad availability and accessibility of such specialty care options remains limited. Stay-at-home guidelines to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 further limited the accessibility of office-based specialty care for SM. Building on separate lines of research supporting intensive treatments and telehealth service delivery models, this paper is the first to describe the development, preliminary feasibility, acceptability, and efficacy of a Remote Intensive Group Behavioral Treatment (IGBT) for families of young children with SM (
