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
Computer-Based Training for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT4CBT) is an online intervention for individuals with substance use disorder (SUD). Objective: The aim of this study was: (1) to investigate changes in CBT related skills, quality of life, and SUD severity in adults completing a CBT4CBT intervention, and (2) to explore the participant experience of CBT4CBT in a tertiary hospital specializing in mental health and substance use health in Canada. Methods: Participants included 51 adults seeking treatment for SUD. Participants received access to CBT4CBT over 8 weeks. Measures assessing CBT skills and associated constructs (distress tolerance, change assessment, drug-taking confidence, and change strategies inventory), substance use outcomes, and quality of life were collected at baseline and post-treatment. A qualitative interview was conducted with 26 participants post-treatment. Statistical analysis was conducted using a series of linear mixed effects models examining changes from week 0 to week 8 across all measures. Results: Significant effects of time were found for SUD symptoms, change strategies, distress tolerance, and quality of life. Qualitative analysis found that participants reported the skills modules on managing triggers and dealing with cravings to be the most helpful. Further, participants found the convenience and relatability of the program scenarios most beneficial. Participants suggested that a live connection to a researcher or a practitioner and some technology enhancements would improve the program. Conclusion: The results suggest that CBT4CBT is linked with a reduction in SUD symptoms and an increase in CBT skills, including change strategies and distress tolerance, as well as improved quality of life.
