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
Introduction: Emergency responders encounter frequent trauma and myriad occupational hazards, contributing to concerning rates of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and related mental health symptoms. These symptoms are each strongly linked with neuroticism/negative emotionality (NNE). Thus, an emotion-focused, transdiagnostic, skills-based treatment approach seems to be a strong match for this population. We sought to address barriers to mental health treatment for emergency responders, including stigma, logistical barriers, and lack of provider knowledge regarding emergency response culture by delivering treatment via telehealth by providers trained in emergency response culture. Methods: In an uncontrolled pilot trial, we delivered the Unified Protocol for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders to 30 emergency medical service, police, and fire service personnel. Results: The large majority (80.0%) completed treatment. Working Alliance Inventory scores were high. Large improvements occurred at post-treatment and one-month follow-up in PTSD symptom severity (Hedges' Discussion: We summarize our cultural adaptation process aimed at maximizing fit of the UP with emergency responders and recommend additional, controlled research examining the UP in trauma exposed populations.
