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: University students report high levels of psychological distress, which is a contributor to poorer academic, social and health outcomes. There is increasing interest in the use of internet-delivered psychological treatments in student counselling services as a strategy improving access to psychological care at scale. However, to date, few large-scale prospective effectiveness trials of internet-delivered psychological treatment have been conducted in "real world" settings with university student populations. Aim: To investigate the effectiveness and acceptability of a brief transdiagnostic internet-delivered cognitive behavioural therapy (iCBT) intervention for anxiety and depression when delivered as part of routine care by the counselling service of an Australian university. Design: A large, prospective, single-group Phase IV clinical trial. Method: Students engaging with the university counselling service between 2018 and 2023 ( Results: Over a 5-year period, 700 students participated in the intervention and 489 provided data at post-treatment. Significant reductions in depression symptoms (% reduction = 27%, Hedges' Conclusion: The results of the current trial provide support for the effectiveness and acceptability of internet-delivered psychological interventions provided as part of routine care to university students with symptoms of anxiety and depression.
