Recovery, completion and further referral after Improving Access to Psychological Therapies in Norfolk and Waveney.
Article in BJPsych open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
backgroundImproving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT), an NHS England service providing talking therapies, is meeting its target recovery rate of 50%. However, engagement in treatment, as well as recovery rates, may be lower for some groups.
aimsTo assess variation in treatment completion and recovery rates by demographic and socioeconomic group and to describe rates of further referrals for patients to IAPT and secondary mental health services.
methodUsing 121 548 administrative records for 2019-2020 and 2022-2023 for the Norfolk and Waveney area, we estimated associations of age, gender, ethnicity and deprivation with the likelihood of treatment completion and recovery using logistic regression modelling. We also described rates of further referrals.
resultsYounger people and those living in deprived areas were less likely to recover or complete treatment, with those aged 16-17 years (
conclusionsYounger people and those living in deprived areas have lower recovery and completion rates. Those who have completed treatment and not recovered have higher rates of further referrals.
