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

Psychotherapists possess measurement-based effectiveness strengths and weaknesses in treating patients with different problems. Moreover, patients report wanting to use these data to optimize their referral/assignment to a therapist. As one way of supporting this value, purposefully matching patients to therapists' problem-specific strengths has promoted better outcomes than usual case assignment, especially for People of Color (POC). Therapists also possess measurement-based strengths and weaknesses in treating patients with different racial/ethnic identities, and patients report wanting access to this information too. Moreover, naturalistic matching to therapists' identity-specific strengths has demonstrated preliminary efficacy. Thus, leveraging therapist performance data holds promise for redressing racial/ethnic disparities in psychotherapy. However, additional work is needed to understand the extent to which POC, specifically, view therapist effectiveness data on
