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

Background: Psychological distress is highly prevalent among university students and can contribute to poor academic performance and drop-out. Help-seeking has increased in recent years, contributing to growing interest in employing internet-delivered psychological treatments to support the mental health of university students. However, few large-scale "real-world" effectiveness trials have been conducted in routine care settings for this population. Aim: The aim of the current study was to examine the acceptability and effectiveness of a brief, five-week internet-delivered cognitive behavioural therapy (iCBT) intervention for anxiety and depression when delivered as part of routine care by a university counselling service in New Zealand. Design: A large, prospective, single-group Phase IV clinical trial. Method: Students ( Results: Over a 5-year period, 839 students participated in the intervention. Significant reductions in symptoms of depression (% reduction = 35%, Hedges' Conclusion: The current results provide further support for the provision of internet-delivered psychological interventions as routine care to university students with symptoms of anxiety and depression.
