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.
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
Theoretical background: Research of E-Mental Health (EMH) interventions remains a much-studied topic, as does its acceptance in different professional groups as psychotherapists-in-training (PiT). Acceptance among clinicians may vary and depend on several factors, including the characteristics of different EMH services and applications. Therefore, the aims of this study were to investigate the factors that predict acceptance of EMH among a sample of PiT using a latent class analysis. The study will 1) determine how many acceptance prediction classes can be distinguished and 2) describe classes and differences between classes based on their characteristics. Methods: A secondary analysis of a cross-sectional online survey was conducted. N = 216 PiT (88.4% female) participated. In the study, participants were asked to rate their acceptance of EMH, as operationalized by the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model, along with its predictors, perceived barriers, perceived advantages and additional facilitators. Indicator variables for the LCA were eight items measuring the UTAUT-predictors. Results: Best model fit emerged for a two-class solution; the first class showed high levels on all UTAUT-predictors, the second class revealed moderate levels on the UTAUT-predictors. Conclusion: This study was able to show that two classes of individuals can be identified based on the UTAUT-predictors. Differences between the classes regarding Performance Expectancy and Effort Expectancy were found. Interestingly, the two classes differed in theoretical orientation but not in age or gender. Latent class analysis could help to identify subgroups and possible starting points to foster acceptance of EMH.
