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

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) treatments delivered in a massed format (i.e., therapy sessions at least 3 days per week) can significantly reduce dropout rates and result in similar PTSD symptom reduction as standard delivery (i.e., once or twice a week). The VA Health Care System is the largest integrated delivery system in the United States and is uniquely positioned to provide mass treatment to veterans with PTSD. Understanding providers' and administrators' perceived barriers and facilitators to massed treatment can inform implementation. This study conducted semistructured interviews with VA PTSD Clinic providers (
