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

Aim: Cost and probability biases are known to predict improvements in symptoms of social anxiety disorder (SAD). This study developed a high-intensity mindfulness and cognitive behavioral group therapy (M-CBT) program-comprising mindfulness training, psychoeducation, cognitive restructuring, exposure exercises, and group sharing-designed to reduce these biases. The intervention was delivered in a group format, and its preliminary efficacy in patients with SAD was evaluated in a pilot single-arm trial. Methods: Patients ( Results: Analyses using linear mixed-effects models revealed that high-intensity M-CBT produced improvements in SAD symptoms, cost and probability biases, depressive symptoms, subjective happiness, dispositional mindfulness, and cognitive reappraisal ( Conclusions: These findings suggest that high-intensity M-CBT can alleviate SAD symptoms and reduce cost and probability biases. Moreover, delivering M-CBT in a high-intensity format appears to be effective for individuals with SAD. Future randomized-controlled trials are warranted to more rigorously confirm these effects.
