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.

Abstract

Background: Clinicians need supports beyond training to deliver evidence-based treatments with fidelity. Workplace-based clinical supervision often is a commonly provided support in community mental health, yet too few studies have empirically examined supervision and its impact on clinician fidelity and treatment delivery. Method: Building on a Washington State-funded evidence-based treatment initiative (CBT+), we conducted a randomized controlled trial (RCT), testing two supervision conditions delivered by workplace-based supervisors (supervisors employed by community mental health organizations). The RCT followed a supervision-as-usual (SAU) phase for comparison. The treatment of focus was trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT). Clinicians ( Results: Results of generalized estimating equations indicated that there were no real differences on adherence outcomes for experimental conditions (SFM, SFM + BR) compared to SAU. Adherence scores in the baseline SAU phase and the RCT conditions were high. Only one interaction was significant. Conclusions: Contrary to our hypotheses, we did not see improvements in adherence with the RCT conditions. However, nonsignificant findings seem best explained by clinicians' acceptable/high adherence in SAU. This study was conducted within the context of a long-standing, state-funded EBT initiative, in which clinicians and their supervisors receive training and support, and in which participating community mental health organizations have adopted and supported TF-CBT. ClinicalTrialsgov ID: NCT01800266.
