Do the Memory Support Intervention and Improving Memory for Treatment Facilitate Behavior Change in Cognitive Therapy?
Article in Cognitive therapy and research, 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
Background: The memory support intervention (MSI) was developed to improve patient memory for treatment as poor memory for treatment is associated with poorer adherence and outcomes. This study aimed to (1) validate the Cognitive Behavior Change interview, which was developed for and used as a measure in this study, (2) assess differences in specific factors impacting behavior change (domains) described in the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) among participants who received the MSI alongside cognitive therapy (CT) compared to those who received CT-as-usual, and (3) assess whether memory for treatment facilitates behavior change. Methods: Participants ( Results: Internal consistency for the Cognitive Behavioral Change interview fell in the acceptable range, whereas interrater reliability ranged from unreliable to excellent. Participants who received CT + MS demonstrated better overall engagement with domains compared to participants who received CT-as-usual. Improved memory for treatment was positively associated with overall engagement and the number of domains engaged. Overall engagement and the number of domains engaged were associated with utilization of skills learned in CT and improved impairment and depression at 12FU. Conclusions: This study enhances our understanding of the potential role of memory for treatment improving long-term behavior change. Exploratory analyses highlight specific domains that may be factors driving changes in behavior due to CT resulting in improvements in depression.
