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

The swift growth of teletherapy has sparked discussions about its effectiveness in comparison to traditional in-person therapy, especially in building a robust therapeutic alliance among those with anxiety and depressive disorders. The study aimed to compare the therapeutic alliance and client satisfaction across teletherapy, in-person, and hybrid modalities in the management of depression and anxiety disorders. A cross-sectional study was conducted using snowball sampling, involving 377 participants from various cities in Saudi Arabia, with a significant proportion residing in the Makkah Region (79.6%). The sample was predominantly female (69.5%), single (60.2%), and young adults aged 18-24 (53.1%). Three validated instruments were used: the Working Alliance Inventory-Short Revised (WAI-SR) to measure therapeutic alliance, and the Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ-8) to assess satisfaction. ANOVA results indicated no statistically significant difference in WAI-SR scores among the treatment groups (face-to-face, remote, and hybrid) (F = 2.804,
