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

The current study was designed to describe usual clinical care for youth with primary anxiety problems in community mental health centers. The observer-rated Therapy Process Observational Coding System for Child Psychotherapy - Revised Strategies scale (TPOCS-RS), designed to assess therapeutic techniques from five theory-based domains, was used to code sessions (N = 403) from the usual clinical care group of two randomized effectiveness trials: (a) Youth Anxiety Study (YAS) with 21 youth (M age = 10.44 years, SD = 1.91; 49.2% Latinx; 46.6%, 53.4% male) and 16 clinicians (77.5% female; 43.8% White), and (b) Child STEPS Multisite Trial with 17 youth (M age = 10.00 years, SD = 1.87; 58.8% male; 41.2% White) and 13 clinicians (M age = 40.00 years; SD = 9.18; 76.9% female; 61.5% White). The average number of TPOCS-RS items observed per treatment session was more than 10, and multiple techniques were used together in each session. All TPOCS-RS items were observed at least once throughout a clinical case, and most items reoccurred (i.e., observed in two or more sessions). The dosage of TPOCS-RS in all items was below 5 on a 7-point scale. In conclusion, clinicians in both usual care samples used a wide range of techniques from several theory-based domains at a low to medium dose. However, the type and dosage of the techniques used did vary across the two samples.
