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

•Evening cortisol levels assessed at baseline were higher than the levels in healthy individuals•The morning cortisol levels showed a statistically significant increase by the end of the CBTp intervention, as participants presented with very low levels initially•Statistically significant clinical improvement was observed at the end of the 16 weekly CBTp sessions, by comparison to the control group•Several baseline variables were identified as correlating significantly with the main outcome measures of the CBTp intervention, including the evening cortisol level.
