Structured coaching interventions for anxiety and depressive disorders in Primary Care: A randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in Atencion primaria, 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
objectiveTo evaluate the effectiveness of structured coaching interventions on anxiety, depression, emotional intelligence, and quality of life in adults with anxiety and/or depressive disorders in Primary Care.
designPilot randomized, controlled, open-label clinical trial. SITE: San Gregorio Health Center, Telde (Gran Canaria, Spain), Primary Care setting.
participantsThirty adults aged 18-65 years with anxiety and/or depressive disorders were randomized (1:1:1) to control, face-to-face coaching, or telephone coaching.
interventionsFive weekly structured coaching sessions based on the GROW model were delivered face-to-face or by telephone. The control group received usual care. MAIN MEASUREMENTS: Primary outcomes were anxiety (Hamilton Anxiety Scale, HAS) and depression (Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale, MADRS). Secondary outcomes included emotional intelligence (Trait Meta-Mood Scale-24) and quality of life (EuroQol-5D), assessed at baseline, one month, and five months.
resultsA significant time×treatment interaction was observed for anxiety (p<0.001). Both coaching modalities achieved greater reductions than control at one month (p=0.002) and five months (p=0.019). Face-to-face coaching showed a stronger short-term effect, whereas telephone coaching demonstrated more sustained improvement. No significant effects were found for depressive symptoms. Emotional regulation improved at one month in the face-to-face group (p=0.013) but was not sustained. Quality of life improved over time without between-group differences.
conclusionsStructured coaching was associated with reduced anxiety symptoms in Primary Care. These findings should be interpreted cautiously and support the feasibility of larger trials.
