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

Exposure and response prevention (ERP) is the gold-standard, evidence-based psychotherapy for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), but few receive it. Video telehealth can increase access to ERP for OCD and may enhance the salience of exposures. This study examined the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness of video telehealth-delivered ERP. We conducted a pilot open trial with 11 Veterans, using mixed quantitative and qualitative methods. Treatment completers (n = 9) had significantly reduced OCD and posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms posttreatment. Patients expressed greater comfort in engaging in ERP at home than in clinics. Therapists reported that seeing patients' home environments helped them understand their symptoms and identify relevant OCD exposures. Results suggest that video telehealth-delivered ERP is feasible and acceptable to patients and therapists and promising for reducing OCD symptoms. Future research should compare its effectiveness to usual care and evaluate patients' preferences for treatment delivery.
