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

Unified Protocol for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders (UP) is an evidence-informed treatment utilizing Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) treatment principles. UP has demonstrated promising treatment effects comparable to single disorder protocol across several mental disorders. Its impact on personal recovery in anxiety and depression has not been examined. This study compares clinical and personal recovery outcomes of UP treatment for depression and anxiety disorders when delivered in a group vs. individual format. Retrospective chart review of outcomes was conducted for outpatients receiving 12-week individual (n = 65) and group (n = 62) UP treatment in a specialized psychiatric hospital. Descriptive and repeated measures ANOVA analyses were conducted on outcomes on Overall Depression Severity and Impairment Scale, Overall Anxiety Severity and Impairment Scale, Recovery Assessment Scale administered pre and post treatment. On average, participants in both group and individual UP treatment showed improvements in anxiety, depression, and recovery scores. Greater proportion of group participants showed improvements on two interpersonal-focused domains of personal recovery. Results indicate group UP treatment is comparably effective compared to individual UP in improving clinical and recovery outcomes, and treatment modality affects the degree of personal recovery. Overall findings offer important clinical promise of UP treatment as a transdiagnostic treatment option for individuals with anxiety and depression.
