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

objectiveTo evaluate the feasibility of a telephone-based intervention grounded in Peplau's Interpersonal Relations Theory for the management of anxiety among users of Primary Health Care.

methodA quasi-experimental, single-arm, before-and-after study was conducted in four Primary Health Care units in the city of São Paulo, Brazil, between January and November 2021. Feasibility was assessed across four domains: demand, acceptability, implementation, and practicality. The Interpersonal Relations Theory for the management of anxiety telephonebased intervention and its preliminary effectiveness was analyzed using a linear mixed-effects model.

resultsA total of 1,327 adults were recruited, of whom 1,171 presented moderate to severe anxiety levels, identified through the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory - Six-Item Short Form. High demand (88.2%) and good acceptability were observed, with 69.8% of participants completing follow-up. A significant reduction was found in mean anxiety scores immediately after the intervention (p < 0.001).

conclusionThe telephone-based intervention demonstrated feasibility in terms of demand, acceptability, implementation, and practicality, positioning itself as a promising strategy to expand access to mental health care in Primary Health Care.
