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

Background: Structured diagnostic interviews (SDIs) are frequently used in science and are highly recommended for diagnosing mental disorders in clinical practice. However, the actual SDI familiarity and use among psychotherapy practitioners is limited. To identify opportunities for training improvement and ensure a frequent SDI application by future practitioners, data on SDI experiences and beliefs among current psychotherapy trainees is essential. Method: Results: SDI familiarity was significantly related to trainees' overall SDI satisfaction. Both positive (e.g., "SDIs are efficient") and negative (e.g., "SDIs disturb the relationship to patients") beliefs about SDIs predicted trainees' overall satisfaction. Small relationships were found between SDI satisfaction and adherence to psychotherapeutic orientation, but none to personality factors. Conclusion: Psychotherapy training programs should provide sufficient opportunity for SDI practice to promote trainee satisfaction. Training providers should address trainees' beliefs and concerns, underline advantages of SDIs, and inform about actual SDI acceptance among patients to resolve prejudice. Trainees' personality appears to be less relevant to SDI satisfaction, but further investigations are needed. The findings have important implications for overcoming barriers to the use of structured diagnostic interviews.
