Transference Assessment in Psychotherapy: A Systematic Review.
Synthesis in Clinical psychology & psychotherapy. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Transference, initially introduced by Sigmund Freud, represents a crucial concept in psychoanalysis, referring to the displacement of feelings, fantasies, and desires from past relationships onto the therapist. Though central to psychoanalytic therapies, transference is acknowledged across many psychotherapeutic approaches, albeit with differing views on its clinical relevance. Empirical research has shown that transference phenomena occur in all close relationships, including therapeutic settings, and are influenced by factors like the patient's attachment style. While the relationship between transference and therapy outcomes remains ambiguous, insights gained from transference work-particularly through its interpretation-are seen as beneficial to therapeutic progress, enhancing patient's awareness and improving treatment results. This systematic review examines the development and validation of 15 assessment tools for measuring transference, offering a comprehensive overview of instruments used across various psychotherapies. The tools vary in their method of data collection, including observational ratings, clinician reports, and patient self-reports. The review highlights the need for further studies comparing these instruments, exploring their effectiveness across different patient populations, and addressing the relationship between transference and therapeutic alliance to improve clinical practice.
