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
Background: Prolonged exposure (PE) therapy for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is an evidence-based psychotherapy (EBP) supported by multiple clinical practice guidelines. This article describes an innovative program delivering EBP PE therapy for veterans with PTSD. Observations: The Intensive Virtual EBP Team (iVET) for PTSD was developed and implemented at the Veterans Affairs Pacific Islands Health Care System. iVET for PTSD is a 3-week telehealth program with 3 main components: (1) massed PE therapy for PTSD (4 sessions per week); (2) whole health and wellness classes (4 group sessions per week); and (3) individual health coaching to address personal wellness goals (1 session per week). In the initial 2.5 years of operation, the program had an 81% retention rate. Patients who participated in iVET for PTSD experienced significantly reduced PTSD, depression, anxiety, and substance use; improved quality of life; and reported high satisfaction with mental health care services. iVET for PTSD mental health care practitioners had increased compassion satisfaction and perceived support, and reduced burnout, secondary traumatic stress, and moral distress over the initial 6 months of providing massed PE in iVET. Conclusions: Virtual massed PE therapy for a diverse veteran population with PTSD is feasible, acceptable, and effective, with high retention rates and patients reporting high satisfaction with mental health services. In addition, delivering PE for PTSD in a massed format is feasible and acceptable among staff and appears to contribute to improved job satisfaction and professional quality of life.
