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

Transcending Self Therapy (TST) is an integrative cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use disorders (SUDs) that was adapted into an immersive virtual reality (VR) platform (TST-VR) featuring psychoeducation modules, mindfulness exercises, and interactive activities that reinforce TST principles. Utilizing an evidence-informed framework and incorporating feedback from a feasibility study, Transcending Self Therapy Virtual Reality (TST-VR) was expanded from a 4-Module version to a 10-Module version. Each of these modules contains four to six distinct lessons or interactive activities presented in a virtual environment. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of this expanded content on engagement with TST-VR. We hypothesized that the expanded content and feedback-informed changes incorporated into the 10-Module version would increase engagement in terms of total time (minutes) in the program and program completion. Fifty-eight military veterans receiving or being considered for SUD treatment (
