Guided internet-based treatment for anxiety and depression in Norwegian primary care: a randomized non-inferiority effectiveness trial.

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
Objective: Meta-analyses suggest that therapist-guided internet-based cognitive behavioural therapy (iCBT) is as effective as face-to-face CBT for anxiety and depression, yet its non-inferiority in routine primary care settings is scarcely examined. We examined the non-inferiority of the therapist-guided program "Assisted self-help" (AS-iCBT) compared to treatment as usual within the Norwegian Prompt Mental Health Care (TAU-PMHC). Methods: A pragmatic, parallel-group, randomized controlled non-inferiority trial with 1:2 (AS-iCBT: TAU-PMHC) allocation was conducted. Participants ( Results: Both groups showed clinically significant reductions in PHQ-9 ( Conclusion: AS-iCBT did not meet the pre-defined criteria for non-inferiority compared to usual PMHC care for most outcomes. Nevertheless, AS-iCBT showed potential as a resource-efficient treatment option, requiring less therapist time while achieving clinically significant improvements. Further research should focus on optimizing its implementation, particularly for anxiety-related conditions.
