Online-CBT for endometriosis: Exploring the acceptability and impact of the Ed.iTh program.
Article in Internet interventions, 2026. 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
Theoretical background: Psychological distress significantly contributes to impairment in endometriosis. However, patients face systemic barriers to psychological support, including long waiting times, stigma, and a lack of endometriosis-specific expertise. Internet-based CBT (iCBT) offers a promising alternative, yet its acceptability and perceived helpfulness in addressing the psychological needs of endometriosis patients remains unexplored. Aim: This study aimed to evaluate users' experiences with Ed.iTh, the first therapist-guided iCBT program developed for individuals with endometriosis. The program includes psychoeducation, cognitive restructuring, pacing, emotion regulation, and asynchronous therapist support. Methods: Results: Participants expressed overall satisfaction with the program. They appreciated the relevance and clarity of the provided information (information quality) and emotional support, which helped reduce feelings of isolation (individual impact). Some participants noted difficulties applying techniques independently and requested more concrete guidance (service quality). Others highlighted a need for more interactivity and flexible pacing (system quality). Discussion: The findings demonstrate the acceptability of Ed.iTh and highlight the potential of iCBT as a low-threshold treatment option for endometriosis. Suggested improvements include greater personalization, more flexible scheduling, and enhanced interactivity to increase engagement.
