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

This pilot study evaluated the feasibility and acceptability of a five-session version of the transdiagnostic Unified Protocol adapted for older adults with emotional distress and impaired functional activity. In Phase 1, the therapist-delivered treatment was adapted for this population. In Phase 2, 16 older adults with emotional distress and impairments in functioning were randomly assigned to either a Self-Guided or Therapist-Delivered version of the 5-session protocol. Assessments were conducted after one week and one month. The intervention was feasible, with participants in the therapist-delivered group expressing significantly higher treatment satisfaction (Cohen's
