A Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Group Transdiagnostic Behavior Therapy (TBT) and Group Disorder-Specific Psychotherapies in Veterans With Emotional Disorders.
Trial report in Journal of clinical psychology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveTransdiagnostic psychotherapies offer potential advantages to traditional, disorder-specific approaches, including coverage of comorbidity, dissemination and implementation, and patient access. Although initial investigations testing the efficacy and capability to be disseminated exist, very few studies have tested these interventions within group settings.
methodsThe present study involved a randomized clinical trial of Group Transdiagnostic Behavior Therapy (G-TBT) and matching group disorder-specific therapies (G-DST) in 243 veterans with major depressive disorder (MDD) and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Clinical symptom outcomes, patient satisfaction and participation, and access in terms of days between intake and the initiation of treatment were examined. G-DSTs were Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Depression and Cognitive Processing Therapy for PTSD. Groups were initiated as soon as at least 6 participants were assigned.
resultsAs expected, clinical outcomes for MDD and PTSD symptoms were consistently reduced in G-TBT within principal diagnostic groups, as well as associated symptoms and functional impairment. These outcomes were generally consistent with outcomes in the G-DSTs. While therapy satisfaction was similar across groups, significantly faster group assignment and less attrition were observed in G-TBT compared to G-DSTs.
conclusionsTogether, the present findings provide support for the efficacy of G-TBT and with comparable effects to well-established G-DSTs for MDD and PTSD, but with potentially improved access to care via transdiagnostic assignment compared to tradition disorder-specific assignment for group therapies.
