Article in BMC psychiatry, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Cultural values and standard social rules of communities strongly influence any psychological therapy. Being developed and modified in the Western world, cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) is not anyway different from such influences. In this study, CBT was adapted in Bengali to determine the functional feasibility of the psychological intervention for people with depression in Bangladesh. This is the first pilot study of an adapted CBT manual for psychological intervention for working with depressive clients in Bangladesh. There were three phases of the study. In the first two phases, the standard protocols of CBT were adapted for the Bangladeshi community, as practiced by mainstream practitioners and mental health professionals around the world. The information gathered during the first phase of the standard protocols of CBT was written in Bengali as the first draft. In the second phase, the CBT manual was judged by seven senior clinical psychologists in Bangladesh who were trained in CBT by British clinical psychologists and later provided training to fellow mental health professionals. After the judges' evaluation, their comments and suggestions were synthesized and the first draft of the adapted intervention was finalized. In the third phase, to evaluate the functional feasibility of the Bengali CBT-based manual, five patients diagnosed with major depression by psychiatrists were tested. Four valid and reliable psychometric measurements were used to measure symptoms of depression and comorbid symptoms of anxiety, psychological distress, and suicidal risk. Assessments were completed at 2 time points (pretest and posttest) via scales. The intervention was delivered within 6 to 10 sessions, and improvements were monitored over the scores of all the questionnaires. The possibilities of Bengali CBTs to reduce depression and appear to be promising treatment options for depression are discussed in this paper.
