Pre-Post Differences in Facilitative Interpersonal Skills and Self-Assessment Following Deliberate-Practice Training.
Article in Journal of clinical psychology, 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
problemAlthough deliberate practice (DP) has shown results in other areas of research, its potential benefits in the field of training psychotheraists are still unclear.
objectivesTo analyze whether DP training improves facilitative interpersonal skills (FIS) and to understand whether the trainees' self-assessment is congruent with their performance.
methodA pre-experimental study with a quantitative analysis was carried out in order to analyze the data from the Facilitative Interpersonal Skills Performance Task and Facilitative Interpersonal Skills Self-Report instruments. The study utilized a convenience sample of 23 psychologists in the first year of an advanced specialization program in psychotherapy. In order to compare a hetero with a self-assessment of therapists' performance, the data were collected before and after a DP training.
resultsParticipants' observer-rated FIS were significantly higher after the DP training than before it. Their self-rated FIS exceeded observer ratings both before and after the training; nonetheless, self-ratings increased in parallel with observed performance, suggesting that participants were aware of their own pre-post change.
