Comparing the OurRelationship Program and Bibliotherapy for Parents Experiencing Couple Distress: A Randomized Pilot.
Trial report in Journal of marital and family therapy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
The OurRelationship Program is an 8-h web-based program for distressed couples adapted from Integrative Behavioral Couple Therapy. In this pilot randomized controlled trial, we aimed to replicate results from the founders and test feasibility criteria for program implementation across cultures. We randomized 39 Danish, opposite-sex, distressed, parenting couples to either the OurRelationship program or self-guided bibliotherapy (a self-help book with a reading guide). Results showed significant within-group changes in couple and individual functioning; for the OurRelationship, small-to-large effect sizes (d = 0.46-1.35 for relationship functioning, d = 0.29-0.80 for individual functioning), and for Bibliotherapy, small-to-moderate changes (d = 0.49-0.75 for relationship functioning, d = 0.28-0.45 for individual functioning). Differences between conditions were insignificant, except for moderate differences in reductions of communication conflict (d = 0.79) and relationship negatives (d = 0.43) in favor of OurRelationship. While feasibility results were positive, a sustainable implementation requires a resourceful organization and large-scale delivery.
