Effectiveness of village doctors led cognitive behavioral therapy for COPD patients in a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in Scientific reports, 2025. 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
Anxiety and depression are two common symptoms among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The aim of this study was to explore the efficacy of group CBT (GCBT) delivered by village doctors for reducing anxiety and depression symptoms and improving quality of life among community-dwelling COPD patients. This community-based cluster randomized controlled trial was conducted from October to November 2023 in Xuzhou city, China, and involved COPD patients from 18 communities. The participants received either CBT plus usual care (UC) or UC only. Village doctors were trained in CBT before the intervention. A total of 443 participants with COPD and comorbid depression and anxiety were included in the analysis, with 223 patients in the control group receiving UC only and 220 patients in the intervention group receiving CBT plus UC. The depression and anxiety scores of the CBT group were lower than those of the UC group at 6 months [depression: (7.87 ± 3.73) vs. (10.20 ± 3.85); anxiety: (8.23 ± 3.60) vs. (10.71 ± 4.01); t = 12.605, 14.419, both P < 0. 001)]. The SGRQ and mMRC scores in the CBT group were lower than those in the UC group at 6 months [(41.78 ± 21.56) vs. (57.47 ± 24.46), (1.55 ± 0.82) vs. (2.32 ± 1.21); t = 17.518, 8.376, all P < 0.001)].
