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

As family therapy is in its infancy in Bangladesh, we know very little about who accesses it and how it is being used or received. This article reports on a year's worth of quantitative and qualitative clinical data from the very first family therapy clinic in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Data come from the Systemic Clinical Outcome and Routine Evaluation-15 (SCORE-15) measure, which was administered to the clients of this university-based clinic. A total of 46 families participated in both the qualitative and quantitative parts of the study, resulting in 134 individual responses. The sample consisted of six couples and 40 individual families. This descriptive study points to the importance of family relationships to the Bengali people and the general acceptability of family therapy as a possible treatment modality for couple, family, and relational problems in this South Asian context.
