The Unified Protocol for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders compared with diagnosis-specific protocols for anxiety disorders: A three-year follow-up.

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
Objective: Compare the long-term efficacy of diagnosis-specific and transdiagnostic cognitive-behavioral therapies (CBT) from a randomized equivalence trial for the treatment of heterogenous anxiety disorders. Method: Participants were treatment completers (N = 80; 58.8% female) from the parent equivalence trial treated with either the Unified Protocol (UP; Results: Treatment gains within each condition were largely maintained at three years post-treatment, with small fluctuations in subclinical symptoms. At 36-month follow-up, the UP and SDP treatment conditions remained comparable on the principal diagnosis ADIS CSR. Although there were some differences on secondary outcomes favoring the SDP condition at intermediate time points, there were no significant differences between the UP and SDP conditions on ADIS CSR or any secondary outcomes at 36-month follow-up. Conclusions: Results further support the utility of the UP as a single intervention that produces durable treatment effects for the most commonly occurring psychological disorders through demonstration of outcomes commensurate with current first-line SDPs.
