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
objectiveDespite guideline recommendations and growing evidence for psychotherapies across mental disorders, in recent years, an underutilization of psychotherapy was observed in the field of psychiatry. The authors conducted a nationwide survey investigating how education and training shape attitudes toward psychotherapy among Italian psychiatry residents and early-career psychiatrists.
methodsAn anonymous online questionnaire (April-September 2023) investigated sociodemographics, psychotherapy training (psychiatric residency and private schools), supervision and personal therapy, self-assessed competencies, disorder-specific effectiveness beliefs, and etiopathogenetic views. Mixed-effects and cumulative link models evaluated correlates of perceived effectiveness and propensity to provide psychotherapy.
resultsThe sample included 453 participants (56.3% female; median age 31), representing 22% of Italian psychiatry residents; 45.5% reported only theoretical training, over one-third lacked supervision, and satisfaction with residency psychotherapy training was modest. Private training was common (39.3%), while two-thirds had undertaken personal therapy. Psychotherapy was considered highly effective for anxiety, eating, and personality disorders, and for most diagnoses when combined with medication. In mixed models, stronger beliefs in traumatic or stress-related etiologies were associated with greater perceived psychotherapy effectiveness, whereas bio-environmental attributions correlated with lower perceived effectiveness. Younger age and later training stage were also associated with higher perceived effectiveness. Finally, inclination towards psychotherapy was linked to the number of patients treated during residency and overall training satisfaction.
conclusionsFindings highlighted the importance of education and training in psychotherapy during residency, as these factors significantly influence the propensity of young psychiatrists to utilize psychotherapy. Structured, supervised, evidence-based psychotherapy curricula are needed to promote integrated psychiatric practice.
