Screening for psychotherapy readiness with the University of Rhode Island Change Assessment Scale and the Readiness for Psychotherapy Index.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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: It is important to assess patients' level of readiness before starting a course of psychotherapy, but only a few validated instruments are currently available for that purpose. Methods: Patients waiting for psychotherapy were administered the Danish translations of the University of Rhode Island Change Assessment Scale (URICA) and the Readiness for Psychotherapy Index (RPI) prior to commencing psychotherapy. We conducted confirmatory factor analysis of the instruments' previously suggested factor structure, as well as evaluating the instruments' ability to identify early adherence to psychotherapy by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and regression analysis. Results: One hundred and fifty-five patients with emotional, personality, and post-traumatic stress disorders were included. The instruments showed poor to average psychometric properties and poor predictive validity regarding early adherence to psychotherapy. Discussion: Findings indicated that the Danish URICA and RPI possess average psychometric properties and have limited validity for predicting early adherence to psychotherapy in psychiatric outpatients awaiting psychotherapy.
