Termination of psychotherapy: a systematic review.
Review in Cogent mental health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
This paper provides a systematic review of literature on the termination phase of adult individual psychotherapy, adhering meticulously to the PRISMA guidelines. The review was carried out independently by two researchers. The initial search results yielded 1809 articles, although after exclusion criteria, 48 articles were identified. Backward citation added 19 relevant articles, resulting in the retrieval of 67 articles. Data of the retrieved articles were extracted and reported, covering various themes and ideas such as reasons for termination, types of terminations, the initiation of termination, duration of therapy, termination criteria, termination discussion, the termination period, patients' feelings at termination, therapists' feelings at termination, processing termination, successful or unsuccessful terminations and post-termination contact. The synthesis of this empirically based data serves as a valuable resource for both researchers and clinicians, facilitating easy access to important information.
