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

backgroundThe culturally responsive cognitive behavioral therapy mobile app,

methodsFrom May 2021 to May 2023, 226 SMM were enrolled and randomized into 1 of 2 conditions: Immediate Delivery (ID) of the

resultsApp utilization was non-normally distributed, with most participants either accessing/completing zero sessions, 1-6 sessions, or all 24 sessions. Participants in the ID condition accessed and completed significantly more sessions than those in the DD condition. Participants reporting higher education, higher annual income, and an STI in the past 12 months utilized and completed more sessions. Adjusting for covariates and randomization group, participants facing unstable housing were less likely to access any sessions (OR = 0.44,

conclusionsSocial determinants of health, such as unstable housing, can hinder utilization and engagement in app-based behavioral interventions. Additional health challenges, such as polysubstance use, may enhance engagement in app sessions.
