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

backgroundTechnology-based mental health interventions address barriers rural veterans face in accessing care, including provider scarcity and distance from the hospital or clinic. webSTAIR is a 10-module, web-based treatment based on Skills Training in Affective and Interpersonal Regulation, designed to treat posttraumatic stress disorder and depression in individuals exposed to trauma. Previous work has demonstrated that webSTAIR is acceptable to participants and effective at reducing symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder and depression when delivered synchronously or asynchronously (over 5 or 10 sessions).

objectiveThis study explored factors that lead to greater patient satisfaction with webSTAIR, a web-based, coach-guided intervention.

methodsWe analyzed qualitative interview data to identify themes related to patient satisfaction with webSTAIR delivered with synchronous video-based coaching.

resultsFour themes emerged from the data: (1) coaching provides accountability and support, (2) self-pacing offers value that meets individual needs, (3) participants like the comfort and convenience of the web-based format, and (4) technical issues were common but not insurmountable.

conclusionsWe conclude that participants valued the accountability, flexibility, and convenience of tech-based interventions with video-delivered coaching.
