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

objectiveTransdiagnostic treatments are needed to address the diverse manifestations and effects of trauma-related psychopathology. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is a promising intervention, although little is known about its application among trauma-exposed civilians. A single-arm pilot study evaluated outcomes of a virtual, group-based ACT intervention for trauma delivered through a training clinic.

methodsFive female clients (mean age=42.6 years) with a history of criterion A trauma completed an 11-week skills group and repeated measures assessing posttraumatic and related psychopathology symptoms (e.g., depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress disorder [PTSD]), emotion regulation, quality of life, posttraumatic growth, and experiential avoidance. Paired-samples t tests were used to assess pre- to postintervention effects.

resultsAll clients completed the intervention, suggesting high acceptability. Analyses of pre- to postintervention effects demonstrated significant reductions in depression (d

conclusionsFindings provide initial evidence for acceptability and beneficial clinical outcomes of a virtual, group-based ACT intervention to address the transdiagnostic consequences of traumatic stress.
