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

aimsThe aim of this commentary is to consider how telehealth and a collaborative model of service delivery may offer a way of making Dialectical Behaviour Therapy available in rural areas. CONTEXT: Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is an effective treatment for Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). However, there are many barriers to making this sort of therapy available within routine care, particularly in rural areas. APPROACH: This commentary provides a summary of the literature relevant to the role that telehealth could play in increasing access to DBT. A new model of care could utilise telehealth services to deliver comprehensive DBT treatment to people with BPD living in rural areas in partnership with community mental health services.

conclusionTelehealth and collaborative models of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy delivery should be further investigated, especially to meet the needs of rural mental health care.
