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: The Rewind Technique (Rewind) is a psychological therapy for people with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which is already used regularly in the National Health Service (NHS), the third sector and private practice across the UK. This study set out to explore the potential efficacy and feasibility of remotely delivered Rewind for the treatment of PTSD. Methods: This study was a two-armed, exploratory RCT to assess the preliminary efficacy, adherence, feasibility, and factors affecting outcome of Rewind versus a waitlist control group. Results: The entire trial was delivered remotely using video calls for treatment sessions and outcome assessments. A total of 40 participants were randomised with 80% retention at the primary endpoint of 8-week postrandomisation. The difference in Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale for DSM-5 scores between the immediate and delayed Rewind arms was 12.64 (95% CI, 2.29 to 22.99, Conclusion: Rewind, delivered remotely, demonstrated a large effect size in treating symptoms of PTSD within this trial cohort. This trial demonstrates a preliminary signal of efficacy supporting the clinical use of Rewind in the treatment of people with PTSD.
