Advancing measurement-based care through triangle of care: Development and feasibility of the Transdiagnostic Global Impression - Psychopathology scale for patients and informants.
Article in European psychiatry : the journal of the Association of European Psychiatrists, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundMeasurement-based care (MBC) is widely recommended in psychiatry but remains underutilized in routine clinical settings. The Transdiagnostic Global Impression - Psychopathology (TGI-P) scale was developed to provide a brief yet comprehensive assessment of 10 core transdiagnostic symptom domains. To support more inclusive care and promote patient and caregiver engagement in treatment planning, two new versions of the TGI-P, that is, a patient-rated and a separate informant-rated, were developed, complementing the previously published clinician-rated version.
methodsThe patient and informant versions mirror the original clinician-rated TGI-P, assessing the identical 10 domains using a seven-point Likert severity scale, with results displayed via a personalized symptom map. A user satisfaction/feasibility study was conducted with 50 participants (25 patients and 25 caregivers) from the UK and US. After completing the scale, participants provided feedback on its clarity, usability, emotional impact, and comparative utility.
resultsMost participants completed the scale in less than 5 min. Instructions were considered clear, and the format was rated easy to follow. Response options were deemed appropriate by 86% of participants, and the visual output was widely appreciated. While one-third reported mild emotional triggering, overall burden was described as manageable. Approximately, three-quarters of participants rated the TGI-P as equal to or better than other tools they had used.
conclusionsTGI-P patient and informant versions were developed and, informed by the feasibility study, refined to offer brief, user-friendly tools that support multi-informant assessment as input to MBC. Both versions of the TGI-P, with their graphical output, may support shared understanding and collaborative decision making among clinicians, patients, and caregivers. A validation study of the TGI-P is underway.
