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

Depression affects up to 40% of Veterans in Veterans Health Administration's nursing homes, known as Community Living Centers (CLCs). We adapted an evidence-based intervention (Behavioral Activities Intervention; BE-ACTIV) to create BE-ACTIV(VA): a manualized behavioral activation intervention for CLC short-stay Veterans with depression. While BE-ACTIV relied on intensive in-person staff training, we developed online, self-paced trainings to fit staff members' busy schedules. The goals of this article are to report on the creation and content of BE-ACTIV(VA) trainings and CLC staff perceptions of their efficacy, feasibility, and acceptability. We used data from post-training surveys (survey responses: All CLC Staff Training
